Nothing says summer like a festive cocktail and these Frozen Coconut Margaritas will quickly become a favorite of yours!

If you have followed my recipes for a while, you know we are big fans of margaritas — in any shape or form. While it all started with the classic Clayton Margarita, I’ve gone on to create many variations including my Smoky Mango Margarita and now these Frozen Coconut Margaritas! Think of these as a piña colada meets margarita — delish!

While this recipe highlights the frozen version of this margarita, I also have an on-the-rocks recipe if you need a smaller serving size, prefer on-the-rocks over frozen, or if you forget to freeze the coconut milk!

Ingredients:

  • Full-fat, Unsweetened Coconut Milk
  • Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice and Lime Wedges
  • Blanco Tequila
  • Cointreau
  • Agave
  • Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
  • Tajin or Chili-Lime Seasoning

Step-by-Step:

Step One: Freeze the Coconut Milk

Add the coconut milk to an ice cube tray and freeze.

Step Two: Blend the Margaritas

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen coconut milk, lime juice, tequila, Cointreau, agave, and 2 cups of ice. Blend on high until smooth.

Step Three: Rim the Glasses and Serve

On a small plate, combine the coconut flakes and tajin and stir to combine. Cut a slit in the lime wedge and rub it along the rim of a glass. Roll the edge of the glass in the coconut-tajin mixture to coat the rim. Fill the glass with ice then pour the coconut margarita into the glass and serve with a wedge of lime.
