Frosty Coconut Margaritas image

This cocktail is reminiscent of a really good pina colada, but with tequila and lime instead of pineapple.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

About 1 1/2 cups coconut milk ice cubes or regular ice cubes (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup cream of coconut
1/2 cup simple syrup
1/2 cup silver tequila or coconut-flavored tequila, if you can find it
1/3 cup orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
1/4 cup coconut soda or seltzer, such as LaCroix
1/4 cup coconut water
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 limes, juiced, plus lime wedges, for serving
Coarse salt, for rimming the glasses
Cherries, for serving

Steps:

  • Chill 4 glasses.
  • Combine the coconut milk ice cubes, cream of coconut, simple syrup, tequila, orange liqueur, coconut soda, coconut water, coconut extract and lime juice in a blender and pulse until the ice is crushed and the mixture is combined. It should be super frosty. Add more ice if needed, then taste and add a little extra tequila if desired.
  • Rim the chilled glasses with coarse salt. Divide the coconut mixture among the glasses, and top each with a lime wedge and cherry.

These margaritas were the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day. I love the combination of coconut and lime, and the frosty rim is a fun touch. I will definitely be making these again soon.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut margaritas, but these were surprisingly good! The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the lime juice adds a nice tartness. I will definitely be making these again.
