Pineapple and Coconut Margarita
This pineapple and coconut margarita is my go-to drink for warm weather. It is subtly sweet, creamy, tangy, and oh so refreshing. Make it in a pitcher and serve at your next pool party!

- Add more ice to each prepared cocktail glass, then strain the drink evenly between each glass.
- Garnish with lime or pineapple crowns.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for that fresh tang.
- Cream of coconut curdles when mixed with an acidic ingredient like lime. If the curdling bothers you, add the lime just before serving. You can equally scoop out the cream and use the liquid (refrigerate the can overnight, don’t shake before opening for best results).
