Ingredients

2 oz tequila (blanco or reposado recommended)
1 oz orange liqueur (or 1 oz fresh orange juice for a lighter version)
1 oz cream of coconut (like Coco López)
2 oz pineapple juice
¾ oz fresh lime juice
Agave syrup (for rimming)
Toasted shredded coconut (for garnish rim)
Ice cubes

Optional Garnish

Pineapple wedge
Lime wheel
Mint sprig

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Rim the glass
Pour a little agave syrup onto a small plate and toasted coconut onto another. Dip the rim of your margarita or rocks glass in the syrup, then into the toasted coconut to coat the rim.

Step 2: Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz tequila, 1 oz orange liqueur or orange juice, 1 oz cream of coconut, 2 oz pineapple juice, and ¾ oz fresh lime juice.

Step 3: Shake it like sunshine
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the drink is cold, well mixed, and lightly frothy.

Step 4: Strain and serve
Strain the margarita into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.

Step 5: Garnish and enjoy
Add a pineapple wedge, lime wheel, or mint sprig for that island-perfect finish. Serve with a smile and sip slowly—or not.

Notes

Use full-fat cream of coconut (not coconut cream or coconut milk) for best flavor and texture
Shake well to properly combine the thick cream of coconut with the juices and alcohol
Rim the glass just before serving to keep the coconut crisp
Always use fresh lime juice—bottled juice won’t give you the same brightness
Chill all ingredients ahead of time for an extra refreshing sip
