Trendy Tuesday
I love my coconuts. Seriously, if a menu reads “coconut” somewhere on it there is a really good chance I am ordering that item. Coconut curry, coconut chips, coconut water, macarons, and coconut MaRgArItAs!!! HeyyyyYYY! I must say that I have seen more coconut things trending lately. So with that I am feeling a bit inspired today, meet my coconut margarita recipe….
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 shots tequila (4.5 oz)
- 1 can cream of coconut
- 1/2 cup simple syrup
- 1 cup coconut water
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss coconut with the salt. Spread on sheet; toast in oven, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then crush with your hands until crumbly.
-
Place ice, coconut cream, coconut water, tequila, simple syrup in blender and puree until smooth
-
Dunk edges of glass in simple syrup and then roll edges in toasted coconut, pour in glass and enjoy!!
