Description
This frozen coconut margarita recipe is refreshing, sweet, and perfectly lime-and-coconut-y.
Ingredients
Scale
Coconut Margarita Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 3 tablespoons freshly-squeezed orange juice
- 1-2 tablespoons simple syrup, if needed
- coconut ice cubes
Optional Rim Garnish:
- lime wedges
- sweetened shredded coconut
- coarse rim salt
Instructions
To Make The Coconut Ice Cubes:
- Whisk together the coconut water and cream of coconut in a mixing bowl until combined. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays, then freeze for at least 12 hours, or until frozen. (Cream of coconut does not always freeze completely, so if yours are not 100% solid, that’s ok.) Keep frozen until ready to use.
- !To Rim The Glasses:
- Run a lime wedge around the top of each glass until it the top 1/4-inch or so is moistened. Dip the glass in a bowl that has been filled with either shredded coconut and/or coarse rim salt. Chill the glasses in the freezer for at least 5 minutes before filling with the margarita mixture.
- If your coconut is not sticking, you may need to pulse it a few times in a food processor until it is the consistency of coarse salt.
- !To Make The Coconut Margaritas:
- Add all ingredients (including the coconut ice cubes) to a blender and pulse until combined. Taste the mixture, and add simple syrup to sweeten if needed. You can also add extra ice cubes (either regular, or more coconut ice cubes) to thicken the consistency, if needed
- Pour into prepared glasses and serve immediately, garnished with an extra lime wedge on top if desired.
Obviously you didn’t inherit the “white knuckle” gene from your mother. I must have done something right. …Co Co Nut Cheers!
Ha, I’m terrified of roller coasters too (it’s not natural!) so I’m super impressed that you guys tackled your fears head on.
That looks so good! Perfect for a girls night :)
Ahh!! So much fun!
And coconut margs?!? Crazy awesome!
Way to go!!! I haven’t been on a roller coaster since I was 8, and I plan to keep it that way! I’ll be the parent who takes pictures from the ground :-) Such a unique idea for coconut water! Delicious!
Oh wow. Those look delicious! So cool and fresh. And the coconut water keeps me hydrated, right? So I can have another? :)
I’m so jealous you guys got to coaster together, and I can totally see Kate researching the stats. Ha! Your margaritas, oh my word! I LOVE coconut. This is one marg I’d be thrilled to throw down. What a cool way to use coconut water, it’s so much more than just a sipper.
Riding a roller coaster is on my 40-by-40 list! Still trying to get the courage. :) Love the #CrackLifeOpen idea – will check it out.
I can roll with this. I’m a piña colada addict, but I can see tequila being a pal of my beloved coconut drank!
I love coasters!!! I’m so glad you had fun! That one looks pretty intense!
I rode the mamba once when it first opened and haven’t been on it since! I was terrified! Way to go girl!
