The best part of this coconut margarita recipe? The toasted coconut rim! Drink rims are not just fun visually: they add a textural element and pop of flavor to each sip. Here’s what to know about making this tropical drink rim:

It’s a perfect drink to enjoy on a warm summer day – or any day you want to feel like you are in the tropics! The lime juice calculates to 4.5 ounces. 4 ounces is 1/2 a cup. So I would try adding that amount and then adjusting with another squeeze of lime juice as needed. Dip the rim in cream of coconut, then a plate of toasted coconut. You’ll just want the outer edge of the glass to be covered. It takes a little time, but it’s worth it for the flavor! Let’s be honest, slamming a tequila from time to time is still fun, but the best-tasting, smoothest examples shouldn’t be smothered with salt and lime.

Blanco or silver — call it what you will — but this is your entry-level tequila. If you insist on slamming, this is generally what you’ll want to do it with. Diamond-clear and un-aged, the best examples are fresh and zippy with a citrus spike. Some cheaper bottles will burn, but we’ve bypassed those for small-batch tequilas that are silky smooth. Reposado The most important thing about this coconut margarita is making sure to buy the right coconut product. Buy cream of coconut, not coconut cream!A good rule of thumb?

Mix up a coconut margarita pitcher instead! A pitcher is more efficient because it makes 8 servings in just 5 minutes! Here’s what to mix: The Pineapple Coconut Margarita is a refreshing twist on a classic margarita. Made with fresh pineapple and organic unsweetened coconut milk, it has a smooth and creamy texture that perfectly balances the sweetness of the pineapple and coconut with the classic margarita taste of tequila, triple sec, and lime.

Tequila note: I used 1800 Coconut tequila for this drink. I wanted the maximum coconut flavor, and the tequila helped deliver!There’s also the relatively new ‘extra-anejo’ category (introduced in 2006) for the tequila connoisseurs out there.

This extra step means the liquid develops a light golden hue and generally a smoother, more mellow profile. Here you can expect sweeter notes, such as coconut and vanilla.
