A fresh coconut margarita with pomegranate — a creamy, refreshing cocktail that shines on hot days.
Exotic flavors meet a classic favorite in this coconut and pomegranate margarita. It’s a lovely choice for summer gatherings, garden parties, or any time you want a special drink to celebrate. The combination of creamy coconut milk, bright pomegranate, and a hit of tequila makes this cocktail both surprising and thoroughly enjoyable.
- If you have a fresh coconut, pierce one of the “eyes” to drain the water into a container, then tap the shell with a hammer until it cracks open.
- For an extra-smooth texture, substitute crushed ice for ice cubes.

Instructions
Sugar rim

- Dip the rim of each glass first into the juice, then into the sugar to coat.
- Let the glasses air-dry for at least 10 minutes before pouring the cocktail.
Margarita
- Add the ice to a blender.
- Pour in the pomegranate juice, coconut milk, and tequila.

Notes
- To open a fresh coconut: pierce one eye to drain the coconut water into a container, then strike the shell with a hammer to crack it open.
- Crushed ice creates a smoother, slushier margarita; ice cubes keep it more cocktail-like and slightly firmer.
