Coconut Water Margarita Recipe

This fresh coconut water margarita recipe is a sweet, topical, and refreshing way to kick off happy hour! With coconut water, sweet and sour mix, and tequila – blend or serve on the rocks.
 
Summer and margaritas go hand in hand!  I love the sweet & citrus-y combination of a classic margarita, and give it a tropical kick. This refreshing coconut water margarita is a great twist on the classic. It’s sweet, creamy, and has a fantastic kick from fresh lime juice.

I’ve been loving coconut water lately!  It naturally contains electrolytes, and is a great way to get minerals like potassium, sodium, and manganese naturally!  Plus, it tastes amazing.  I use it to make coconut water lemonade, but decided to create a fantastic cocktail for the weekend.

This fun and sweet margarita is a great way to enjoy coconut water in a cocktail. The coconut water is naturally sweet, so this recipe is made with this and sweet & sour mix, no simple syrup needed.

How Do I Make this Easy Margarita with Coconut Water?

  1. Add all ingredients to a tumbler. Add ice and shake well to combine.
  2. Take your margarita glass, dip the edges in water or lime juice, and roll the rim in margarita salt or sugar.
  3. Add ice to the glass, and pour the margarita into your salt-rimmed  glass, garnish with a slice of lime. Enjoy!

The Best Blender for Margaritas

You can make this margarita on the rocks, or blended and frozen! I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my Vitamix is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients into pulp.  

I prefer using my blender for recipes like this, as it’s much easier to clean the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis! For smoothies or cocktails, this blender gets the job done.
