When you'd really rather be on the beach in a tropical location, the Coco Rita just might be a way to transport you into that vibe — a sweetened margarita made with coconut milk. At Queen Bee, we go all the way with coconut-infused agave, making it a more well-rounded experience. It just might be the ticket to that tropical get-away at home.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oz. Milagro Reposado Tequila
- 1 oz. coconut-infused agave syrup
- 1/2 oz. Thai coconut milk
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- Coconut flakes for the rim, minced
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim in coarse salt or coconut flakes and set aside.
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and add ice.
- Shake it until it is chilled.
- Strain and serve on the rocks.
- Garnish with a slice of lime.
