Skinnymixer’s Coconut & Lemongrass Margarita features in the Sweets & Drinks of the cookbook SkinnyAsia 2.

This Coconut & Lemongrass Margarita puts a tropical spin on the classic. Coconut tequila, fresh lime and orange liqueur are shaken with coconut water and our fragrant Lemongrass & Lime Leaf Simple Syrup.

It’s fresh and zesty with just enough coconut flavour, while the lemongrass and lime leaf give it a fragrant South-East Asian twist. Finish with a salt or toasted coconut rim depending on whether you like your margaritas more savoury or sweet.

Lauren J. – Little bit too coconutty for me but the husband loves it.. I think in the hot weather it’d be amazing
Angie G. – Made a non alcoholic version of margarita. Tasted very refreshing and yummy Perfect summer drink made in a tall jug to have by the pool
Mel C. – I had never even heard of coconut tequila until 2 days ago, but popped my head in to liquorland when I was working to ask if they had it, and it was on special, so here I am, having a margarita on a school night. I like it (the margarita and the tequila), and I’m not really a tequila person.
Michele G. – Love this cocktail. We love margaritas, so come summer we will definitely be having a few of these around the pool.

FAQs

Can I make this margarita without coconut tequila?

Yes. Use a good-quality blanco tequila instead. The coconut flavour will be lighter, but you’ll still get some coconut from the coconut water. You can adjust the coconut flavour to taste if needed.

Should I use salt or toasted coconut on the rim?
