The Coconut Margarita adds creamy coconut sweetness to tequila, lime, and orange liqueur. It is richer than a classic Margarita but still balanced by citrus and salt.
Prepare a margarita glass with a light salt rim. Shake tequila, cream of coconut, triple sec, and lime juice with ice until well chilled. Strain into the prepared glass. Finish with the lime wheel as the garnish and serve immediately.
Served in a Margarita Glass with a salt rim and lime wheel garnish. The drink should look pale, creamy, and tropical.

Coconut Margaritas developed from tropical Margarita variations, combining the agave sour structure with creamy island-style sweetness.
