Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Silver tequila
- 1 ounce Coconut cream
- 1 ounce Cointreau (or triple sec)
- 1 ounce Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 ounce Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the rim of your glass: Place shredded coconut on a small plate and, if desired, mix with coarse sea salt. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your cocktail glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the coconut mixture to coat. Set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Add silver tequila, coconut cream, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
Fill the prepared glass with a few ice cubes or leave it empty if you prefer your margarita neat.
Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top of the drink, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical Coconut Margarita!
