- Here’s everything you’ll need to shake up this delicious drink:
Coconut Milk – The star of the show! Adds creamy richness and a tropical base. You can also use cream of coconut if you prefer it sweeter and thicker.
Tequila – Be sure to use a high-quality tequila. I used CAMBIO with no additives and a smooth, clean taste.
Toasted Coconut Syrup – Brings depth and a nutty, caramelized coconut flavor that sets this drink apart.
Orange Liqueur – I used Cointreau. It adds just the right hint of orange to complement the coconut and lime.
Lime Juice – Freshly squeezed for that bright, zesty kick.
Garnish – Agave, toasted coconut flakes, and a dehydrated lime wheel bring the island vibes full circle.
