For many months I’ve been working on a coconut margarita recipe in my head. My first real attempt with the cocktail in a glass was on the rocks and not very good. So, the other day I decided to try a blended version and I was much happier with the results.
It’s got just the right amount of coconut mixed with booze to make you think you are on a tropical island.
And if you want to have a real red, white, and blue celebration for the 4th of July you can also make some pomegranate margaritas and blue margaritas.
Coconut Margarita
Ingredients
1 ounce Tequila
1 ounce Bacardi Coconut Rum
1 ounce Cream of Coconut
1 1/2 ounces Coconut Water
1/2 fresh squeezed lime
Lime wedge and maraschino cherry for garnish
Shredded coconut for rimming glass
Preparation
Pour tequila, rum, cream of coconut, coconut water, and fresh squeezed lime into a blender.
Add ice and blend to desired consistency.
Rim margarita glass with lime and dip in shredded coconut.
Pour blended drink into margarita glass and garnish with lime wedge and maraschino cherry.
Makes 1 margarita.
Cheers!
