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 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.

What’s In This Margarita with Coconut Water?

  • Coconut Water – I absolutely love the flavor of coconut water! It’s great in this margarita, or even just by itself.
  • Tequila! I used reposado, but use whatever kind you prefer.
  • Sweet & Sour Mix – which I used to add a kick to this cocktail.
  • Lime Juice, preferably freshly squeezed
  • Ice
  • Margarita Salt… because salt, lime, tequila is a classic combo!

And of course, cactus margarita glasses, because they are SO fun. Always.

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 recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.

Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
