For more sun-inspired margarita recipes, try our fresh pineapple margarita, watermelon margarita, or frozen margarita popsicles! You don’t need any fancy ingredients to make it. Just some canned coconut milk, honey, tequila, and lime juice. Okay, and maybe some desiccated coconut and sea salt for the rim if you want to get fancy. To make it, start by rimming your glass with some honey and dipping it in some salted toasty coconut. We don’t recommend skipping this step. While it is optional, it adds a fun and delicious element to this drink. Next, mix the honey and hot water together until it dissolves, add all the ingredients to a shaker or jar and shake well. Strain it into your glass, and that’s it! A coconut margarita is the perfect cocktail for sipping by the pool or somewhere in the sun. It’s a fun drink to make for parties, and you may find yourself mixing it up all summer long! Unlike many coconut margarita recipes, you only need a few simple ingredients that are easy to find at the grocery store. You may even have them in your pantry! Here’s everything you need:
Honey + hot water – honey and hot water make a honey simple syrup to sweeten this drink. You can also use agave nectar instead of honey. Coconut milk – we like the richness that full-fat canned coconut milk gives this margarita, but low-fat works too. Both will make the drink nice and creamy, plus you probably already have some in your cupboard! White tequila – white tequila, also known as silver tequila or blanco tequila, is the purest form of tequila. It’s clear in color and made for mixing. If you prefer the taste of a reposado tequlia, you can use that instead. Lime juice – only fresh lime juice will do here! Lime slice – for garnish.
Here’s what you need for the salted toasted coconut rim:
Desiccated coconut – desiccated coconut is coconut meat that has been flaked or shredded and then dried. It has a finer texture than most shredded coconut, which is ideal for the rim of the glass. Sea salt – a bit of salt gives the rim that salty-sweet taste! Honey – honey helps the coconut stick to the rim. You can also use agave syrup, if you prefer.
Coconut margaritas are a delicious and delightful cocktail recipe you can drink all summer long. They’re perfect for patio sipping, by the pool, at parties, or anytime you feel like something creamy and cool.
They also pair perfectly with Mexican foods like tacos, fajitas, or some salty chips with salsa or guacamole!
