Ingredients
1 (14-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
2 tbsp. cream of coconut
12 oz. silver tequila
8 oz. triple sec
1/4 c. lime juice
4 c. ice
Lime wedge, for rimming glass
Sanding sugar, for rimming glass
Lime slices, for garnish
Cranberries, for garnish
Preparation
Step 1Combine coconut milk, cream of coconut, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth.Step 2Rim glasses with lime wedge and dip in sanding sugar. Pour into glass and garnish with lime and cranberries.
Switch it up. If you’re looking for a bit of a creamier, sweeter margarita, feel free to add more cream of coconut to your blender to get your desired consistency. Prefer your margs even sweeter? Add in some simple syrup to up the sweetness factor. One thing we don’t recommend switching up? The silver tequila for any golden tequila variety—we want these margs to be white as snow! Get festive with the garnish! Here’s where you can really get into the Christmas spirit. After creating your sugar rim, feel free to decorate these margs however you please! We added plain cranberries and more lime for a simple, classic look, but feel free to get creative. Add sugared cranberries, sprigs of rosemary, or mint to really take these drinks up a notch. Tip: These drinks may separate a bit after blending due to the coconut milk base. If so, give them a quick stir to incorporate it back together. Have you made one yet?
