Today my mom and I were flipping through channels on the TV when we stumbled upon Sandra Lee making a Coconut Margarita. It looked so delicious we ran right out and bought all of the ingredients we needed. I was actually very excited because the recipe used Godiva White Chocolate liquor and I have been wanting to try it for some time now. The bottle was a little on the pricey side but it won't go to waste, it was sinfully good and I can't wait to test out more drink recipes with it.
But back to this little taste of heaven. These drinks remind me of the Good Humor coconut bars that the Ice Cream Man used to sell out of his truck. You have to make the simple syrup ahead of time so it has time to cool down but once you do that, the drink will take you no time to prepare. These were so refreshing and light making it a perfect summer cocktail!
White Chocolate Coconut Margaritas
Yield 4
2 1/2 cups coconut water, chilled
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup finely shredded coconut shavings
Ice, for serving
1/2 cup coconut rum
1/4 cup white chocolate liqueur
1/4 cup tequila
- In a small pot combine 1/2 cup coconut water with the sugar. Heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool in the refrigerator about 20 minutes.
- Place the coconut shavings on a small plate. Dip the rims of 4 margarita glasses into the coconut simple syrup just to dampen. Holding the glasses upside down, rim of the glasses with the fresh coconut to coat the edges. Fill the glasses with ice.
- In a shaker, combine the remaining 2 cups coconut water, the rum, white chocolate liqueur, tequila and 1/4 cup of the coconut simple syrup. Shake and pour into the glasses.
