Coconut Margarita Cocktail Recipe

What better way to celebrate the long weekend (or any weekend, for that matter!) than with our delicious Coconut Margs?!?!

We concocted this coconut margarita recipe when we were visiting our parent on vacation in Mexico, and it has quickly become a favorite! Many Coconut Margaritas call for coconut cream, which, though delicious, can be quite high in calories. So to make a “skinnier” version, we substituted coconut flavoured Liqueur (coconut rum works too). It makes for a slightly boozier margarita.. but we’ve never heard a complaint! In the past, we’ve also toasted shredded coconut to put on the rim on the glass.. but someone USED up alllll the coconut I bought specifically to make these (I won’t name names!) so that is not pictured.

For these Margaritas, we used Solana Blanco Tequila from Wine and Beyond. This tequila is sooooo smooth, with a silky, medium body and the aromas floral herbs and agave, it pairs perfectly with the sweetness of Coconut! We like to make our Margs on the rocks, but if you are the “blended” type, simply toss all the drink ingredients into the blender instead!

Solana Tequila and lime are key ingredients in our Coconut Margarita recipe. River City Sisters blog has cocktail recipes for all occasions.

    Hi there outstanding blog! Does running a blog similar to
    this require a large amount of work? I have virtually no
    knowledge of coding but I had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyhow,
    if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject however I simply
    needed to ask. Appreciate it!
