Who doesn’t love a cool, crisp, sweet-but-slightly-tart slice of key lime pie with that delicious graham cracker crust? This cocktail is a slice of the famed pie in a glass! Many recipes for a similar cocktail call for rather odd ingredients like coconut and pineapple – things that are not in the pie. Why? That was my question as I embarked on a quest to make a drink as close to the dessert as I could. Here is my finished product, and I’m sure you’ll agree it tastes like another! This drink is important to follow the recipe closely, as small variations will affect the end product greatly.
