Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce Cointreau or triple sec
- 1.5 ounces cream of coconut (or full-fat coconut milk)
- 0.5 ounce simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- Shredded coconut, for rimming
- Lime wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of each margarita glass. Roll the rim in shredded coconut to create a snowy edge.
- Combine ingredients: Add the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, cream of coconut, and simple syrup (if using) to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well: Close the shaker and shake hard until the outside is very cold, about 20 seconds. This chills and slightly froths the drink.
- Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared, coconut-rimmed glasses filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish: Add a lime wedge to the rim of each glass before serving your festive holiday cocktails.
Notes
- For a frozen margarita, blend all ingredients with about 1 cup of ice per serving until smooth. This creates a great frozen margarita for Christmas option.
- If you want a slight pink hue for extra color, add a splash of cranberry juice before shaking.
- Use high-quality silver tequila for the best flavor in this creamy tequila drink.
