Ingredients
Margarita Mocktail
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk or substitute with heavy cream
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or simple syrup
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1.5 oz non-alcoholic tequila or substitute with real tequila
Toasted Coconut Rim
- Toasted shredded coconut (for rimming)
- Zest of 1/2 lime
- Zest of 1/2 orange
- 1 tbsp honey (for sticking rim ingredients to glass)
Garnish (Optional)
- Dried orange slice
- Whipped cream (optional topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Toasted Coconut Rim: Mix toasted shredded coconut together with the zest of 1/2 lime and 1/2 orange on a plate. Spread honey on the rim of your glass, then roll the glass in the coconut and zest mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Mix the Creamsicle Drink: In a cocktail shaker, combine coconut water, coconut milk (or heavy cream), orange juice, maple or simple syrup, lime juice, and non-alcoholic tequila (or real tequila if preferred). Add ice cubes to fill the shaker halfway. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to chill and blend the ingredients well.
- Serve: Strain the shaken drink over a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a dried orange slice on the rim. For an extra creamy touch, optionally top with a dollop of whipped cream before serving. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
- You can easily make this a vegan drink by using maple syrup and coconut milk, skipping the whipped cream or using a dairy-free alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or simple syrup to your taste preferences.
- Non-alcoholic tequila substitutes work well for a mocktail version, but feel free to use real tequila for a boozy cocktail.
- To toast coconut at home, spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
