Ingredients
Scale

- Prepare the glasses: Rim glasses with salt or coconut flakes by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it into the salt or flakes.
- Add the frozen coconut to a blender.
- Pour in the tequila.
- Add the fresh lime juice.
- Incorporate the orange liqueur.
- Sweeten with simple syrup, adjusting to taste.
- Add ice cubes.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adjusting texture as needed.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired, blending again if necessary.
- Pour the mixture into prepared glasses, filling them generously.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and, optionally, a sprig of mint.
- Enjoy immediately while frosty and cold!
