Pineapple Coconut Margarita
This pineapple coconut margarita will make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation! Shake, strain, and serve it on the rocks this summer for a refreshing treat that pairs well with tacos and sunshine.
Equipment
- Jigger or shot glass
- Julep strainer
Ingredients
- 2 fluid ounces tequila blanco
- 2 fluid ounces coconut water
- 1½ fluid ounces pineapple juice
- ½ fluid ounce triple sec
- ½ fluid ounce lime juice
- ½ fluid ounce agave nectar
Instructions
- Fill a shaker with large ice cubes, then add the tequila, coconut water, pineapple juice, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar.
- Shake until the drink is chilled and the sound of the ice cubes shifting around in the shaker has softened. This means the ice has broken up quite a bit - if you continue to shake past this point, you risk watering down your cocktail.
- Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over ice. Optionally garnish and enjoy!
Notes
Coconut water: To add coconut flavor, we use coconut water instead of coconut cream or milk. It adds flavor without altering the texture of the drink, so you get the mouthfeel of a true margarita on the rocks. If you prefer a creamier cocktail, check out our tequila pina colada recipe!
Garnishes: We like to garnish these with a toasted coconut rim and a skewer of fresh pineapple and lime. Get creative with your garnishes and dress these up however you feel! Salt or sugar rims work great, and edible flowers always make cocktails look beautiful if you have any on hand.
Batch prepping: You can easily batch prep this cocktail for parties and gatherings. If you’re making a large amount, add all the ingredients to a pitcher with ice and stir. If the pitcher is going to be sitting for a while, we recommend straining out the ice and keeping it in the fridge so it doesn’t get watered down but stays cold.
