Key Lime Coconut Margarita Recipe – A Refreshing Twist on a Classic Cocktail

Unleash your inner mixologist and shake up a Key Lime Coconut Margarita – a tantalizing blend of key lime tartness, creamy coconut, and smooth reposado tequila. This cocktail is a symphony of flavors, striking the perfect balance between sweet and sour, all in one delightful sip. Cheers to refreshing libations and unforgettable flavor combinations!

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 2 oz reposado tequila (I love Lunazul)

• 1 oz key lime juice (if you don't have fresh, Nellie & Joe's is perfect)

• 1 oz coconut cream

• 1/2 oz triple sec

• Ice

• Key lime slices and shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions:

• Prepare Your Glass : Paint the rim of a glass with coconut cream and dip it in shredded coconut & lime zest for a decorative rim.

• Shake It Up : Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the reposado tequila, key lime juice, coconut cream, and triple sec. Shake vigorously to combine and chill the ingredients.

• Strain and Serve : Strain the mixture into your prepared margarita glass filled with ice.

• Garnish and Enjoy : Garnish with a key lime slice. Sip and enjoy the tropical paradise in a glass!

Notes:

While this Key Lime Coconut Margarita is a star on its own, it also makes a fantastic companion to a variety of dishes. My personal favorite pairing? Shrimp or steak street tacos! The zesty flavors of the margarita complement the savory goodness of the tacos, creating a mouthwatering combination that will transport your taste buds to a fiesta.

To lighten this up a bit, you can substitute the coconut cream with coconut water. You'll still have a delicious coconut flavored margarita, but a lighter drink on a hot day.

So, whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a summer soirée, or simply craving a taste of the tropics, whip up a batch of Key Lime Coconut Margaritas and transport yourself to a beachside paradise with every sip.

Cheers to refreshing twists on classic cocktails and unforgettable flavor combinations!
