Pineapple Coconut Margaritas

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cocktail recipes - the Pineapple Coconut Margarita! This refreshing cocktail is packed with juicy pineapple, creamy coconut, and tart lime juice- it's like a piña colada spiked with tequila. It's the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, with a creamy coconut finish that will transport you straight to the beach!

Notes

  • This recipe is easily multiplied for a crowd!
  • Make a pitcherful of pineapple coconut margarita by blending everything up in a blender (without ice!) instead of in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Amp up the coconut flavor by swapping in coconut tequila.
  • Make it a mocktail by subbing the tequila for a non-alcoholic alternative or leaving it out all together.
  • If you can't find Cream of Coconut, you can use coconut cream. I highly suggest using a blender if you're doing this so there aren't chunks of coconut cream in your drink. And since it's not sweet, you're going to want some simple syrup in there as well.
  • Swap tequila for rum to really get into the piña colada vibes.
