A quick and refreshing frozen coconut lime margarita made with just three main ingredients: tequila, coconut milk, and fresh lime juice. Perfect for hot summer days, this creamy and tangy cocktail offers a tropical twist on the classic margarita.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) blanco tequila
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 to 1.5 cups (120180 g) ice cubes
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt or salted rim
  • Optional: splash of pineapple juice

Instructions

  1. Roll 2 fresh limes on the countertop to loosen the juice, then cut in half and juice until you have about 1 ounce (30 ml). Strain to remove pulp and seeds if desired.
  2. Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of blanco tequila into your blender.
  3. Open a can of full-fat coconut milk and scoop out 1 cup (240 ml). Pour it directly into the blender. Stir the can before scooping to combine cream and liquid.
  4. Add 1 to 1.5 cups (120-180 grams) of ice cubes to the blender.
  5. Secure the blender lid and pulse on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth and frosty with no large ice chunks. Add more ice and blend again if too thin.
  6. Taste and adjust by adding more lime juice for zing or extra coconut milk for creaminess. Blend briefly again if needed.
  7. Pour the frozen coconut lime margarita into salt-rimmed glasses if desired. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor; full-fat canned coconut milk gives the creamiest texture. Use good-quality blanco tequila for a clean, crisp taste. Rim glasses with salt or toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor. If coconut milk separates, warm slightly and stir before use. You can prepare the mix without ice ahead and freeze in ice cube trays, then blend with ice before serving.
