How to Make a Coconut Margarita

My sister recently came to visit me and I knew I had to kick off her stay with these delicious coconut margaritas! They are absolutely delicious, creamy and one of my top 5 favorite cocktails to make. They became one of my sisters all time favorites as a matter of fact.

If you like coconut and tequila you have to try this! I rim the glass using honey and dip it in coconut flakes then make the margaritas using good coconut cream, my favorite silver tequila (Lalo), Cointreau, and good pineapple juice. 

I love making these when I have friends or family over. You can make these for your next get together, game night, cinco de mayo party. You name it! It’s good to make anytime and your friends and taste buds will be thanking you. 

What is a Coconut Margarita?

A margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice but this margarita includes coconut cream and pineapple juice to make a tasty coconut margarita that is a crowd pleaser! 

How to make a Coconut Margarita

Ingredients 

• 1 ½ oz Tequila, I used Lalo Silver Tequila

• 1 oz Pineapple Juice
• Ice
• Honey and Coconut Flakes, for the rim
• Limes, for garnish

Directions:

1. Place the coconut flakes and honey on separate plates and dip the rim of the glass in honey then in coconut flakes. Add ice and set aside.
2. In a shaker, add the tequila, cointreau, coconut cream, pineapple juice and ice and give it a good shake. 
3. Strainer into your prepared glass, garnish with a sliced lime and enjoy!

# Tips 

When it comes to making a delicious cocktail try to use the best ingredients! I love using Coco Lopez coconut cream over the stuff you get in a white bottle. It tastes 100% times better. I also love using Trader Joe’s pineapple juice but Dole pineapple juice works great too.

To help the coconut flakes stick to the rim I love using honey. If you don’t like or have coconut flakes you can use cinnamon sugar instead. 

This cocktail tastes like a vacay in a glass! I love making these on hot summer days or when I’m relaxing by the pool. Check out my other yummy cocktails!
