Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen coconut chunks (or frozen coconut cream)
- 1 cup tequila (preferably silver)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Salt or coconut flakes for rimming the glasses (optional)
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter for a smoother process.
- Prepare the Limes: Roll the limes on the counter to release juices, cut in half, and juice them to yield about 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice.
- Make Simple Syrup: Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using.
- Prepare the Glasses: Rim your glasses with salt or coconut flakes by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it into a plate of salt or coconut flakes.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen coconut chunks, tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup, and ice cubes.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed (about 30-60 seconds).
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if desired, or add a splash of water or lime juice if too thick.
- Pour into Glasses: Pour the blended margarita mixture into your prepared glasses, filling them to the brim.
- Garnish: Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of each glass. Optionally, add a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh coconut.
- Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing frozen coconut margaritas!
