Recipe tips

Here are two recipe tips to make the best Coconut Pineapple Margarita ever:

• Use Fresh Lime Juice: For the most vibrant and zesty flavor, always use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of bottled lime juice. Fresh lime juice adds a bright and citrusy kick that elevates the overall taste of the margarita.
• Rim the Glass with Toasted Coconut: Take your presentation to the next level by rimming the glass with toasted coconut flakes. Simply moisten the rim of the glass with lime juice or water, then dip it into a plate of toasted coconut. This adds a delightful tropical touch and a subtle nutty flavor that perfectly complements the coconut and pineapple elements in the margarita.
