How to Make a Frozen Coconut Lime Margarita
You can totally make this your own, too. Add a touch of simple syrup if you like things a bit sweeter. If you want it stronger, just pour in a little more tequila. And don’t forget the garnish—rim your glass with some sprinkles, toast up some coconut, and add a lime slice to make it look as good as it tastes.
- In a blender, combine the ice, cream of coconut, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more ice and blend again.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the tequila amount if desired.
- If you’d like to garnish your glass, first dip the rim of the glass in triple sec, then dip it in crystalized sprinkles. Add toppings like toasted coconut and lime slices for extra flavor and presentation.
- To toast the coconut, add a handful to a small frying pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, as it will toast quickly. Remove from heat when the coconut reaches a light brown color.
Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
- Before making your drink, pop your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes. This will keep your drink cold longer and give it a frosty appearance.
- If you prefer your drink a bit sweeter, add a splash of simple syrup to the blender. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- Keep a close eye on the coconut while toasting. It can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly. Stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as it reaches the desired color.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic version by simply omitting the tequila and triple sec. You can substitute the tequila with extra lime juice or a splash of orange juice to maintain some of the citrus flavor.
If you don’t have cream of coconut, you can use coconut milk, but the drink will be less sweet and creamy. You may want to add a bit of simple syrup or sweetened condensed milk to compensate.
It’s best to make this drink fresh, as it contains ice and can become watery if it sits too long. However, you can prepare the mixture without the ice ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, blend it with ice.
