How to Make Coconut Margaritas to Impress Your Guests

You probably have heard of lime, strawberry, and watermelon margaritas but have you tried a creamy coconut one? It’s the drink you’ve been missing out on!

Coconut Cream is the solid white substance that settles on top of cans of coconut milk. If you don’t have any, you can always substitute coconut water. 

These white alcoholic drinks look so pretty when you add a splash of color with limes or fresh fruit on the rim.

Notes

This drink can be made in advance although the coconut cream may settle and need to be stirred before serving. Make sure not to add ice to the pitcher if you’re making it more than an hour in advance as it can dilute the drink as it melts.

Make sure to use freshly squeezed juice in this recipe. It really makes a difference!
My preferred tequila is Jose Cuervo Silver, but use whatever you have on hand.
