Coconut Margarita
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 2 tablespoons for glasses (about 5 limes)
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk plus ½ teaspoon of coconut extract (or ½ cup Coco Lopez or cream of coconut)
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons tequila
  • ¼ cup Cointreau or other orange liqueur
  • 2 cups of ice
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons lime juice into a shallow dish. Place coconut mixture in another dish. Dip rims of two cocktail glasses in lime juice, then in coconut mixture, coating well.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients with 2 cups ice in a blender; puree until smooth. Divide evenly between prepared glasses, and serve immediately.
