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.

- 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?
- Add all ingredients to a tumbler. Add ice and shake well to combine.
- Take your margarita glass, dip the edges in water or lime juice, and roll the rim in margarita salt or sugar.
- 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.
