Because who doesn't love a good margarita?!
It’s no secret that a good margarita is the cocktail of choice for the team here at WOT — And while we love a classic margarita, we are always game to switch it up every once in a while and try something new.
This week in the WOT Test Kitchen we came up with two extremely delicious recipes (trust us, we tested them…twice): Lite Coconut Margarita and a fresh Watermelon Margarita.
Each recipe incorporates fresh fruit and flavors without being too sweet or overpowering. So if you are looking to try something a little different from the classic recipe we all love, we suggest you give these a try.
Lite Coconut Margarita
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 4 oz lite coconut milk (we used canned organic)
- 3 oz tequila (blanco works well)
- 1 oz triplesec
- 8 oz coconut water (we used coconut water with pulp)
- mint and lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a large shaker filled with ice, combine the coconut milk, tequila, triple sec, and coconut water.
- Shake in a shaker for about 30 seconds or until well combined.
- Pour into salt rimmed glasses filled with ice.
- Garnish with mint and lime slices or wedges.
- Serve immediately.
To Rim Your Glass with Salt
- If you are going to rim your glass with salt, use a sliced lime wedge to go around the rim of the glass and then tap the upside-down glass into the coarse salt. This can be done ahead of time.
If you want to pre-make the coconut margarita, combine the coconut milk, tequila, triple sec, and coconut water in a pitcher and place in the fridge until your ready to serve. Give the pitcher a good stir and then pour the mixture over your ice-filled salt-rimmed glasses.
