Equipment
- cocktail shaker
- lime juicer
Ingredients
For one margarita
- 3 oz full fat coconut milk from a can (for extra coconut flavor add 1 ounce more coconut milk)
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) cointreau or gran marnier (or substitute triple sec)
- ice cubes
Garnishes (optional)
- lime wedges and/or lime zest
- honey or agave
- toasted shredded coconut (use about 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut)
Instructions
- To garnish the rim of the cocktail glass, toast sweetened shredded coconut in a small pan over medium-low heat until starting to turn golden brown, stir occasionally. Add the toasted coconut to a plate and spread into an even layer. Brush honey or agave along the rim of the cocktail glass. Then, dip the rim into the toasted coconut, sort of turning and swirling to adhere the coconut to the rim of the glass. Set aside.
- To a cocktail shaker add a handful of ice along with the tequila, full fat coconut milk, lime juice and triple sec. Put the top on the shaker and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds, until the shaker is quite cold.
- Add some ice to the prepared cocktail glass and strain the coconut margarita into the glass, garnish with a lime wedge or fresh lime zest and enjoy!
