Tips:
- Coconut Cream: Ensure you’re using coconut cream, which is thicker and sweeter than coconut milk. It adds a rich, creamy texture to the margarita.
- Toasting Coconut: For an added flavor dimension, lightly toast the shredded coconut in a pan over medium heat until golden brown. Allow it to cool before rimming the glasses.
- Fresh Ingredients: The freshness of the pineapple juice and lime juice makes a significant difference in the cocktail’s flavor profile. Opt for fresh over pre-packaged when possible.
