What do I need?
- Lime wedge, for rimming
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut or caster sugar, for rimming the glasses
- Blue food colouring, optional
- Ice cubes
- 90 mL tequila
- 60 mL blue curaçao
- 60 mL coconut cream
- 45 mL fresh lime juice
How do I make it?
- Run the lime wedge around the rim of two cocktail glasses. If you want a blue tinge to the rim, add a drop of blue food colouring to the coconut or sugar. Dip the rims into the coconut or sugar to coat lightly. Set aside.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add tequila, blue curaçao, coconut cream, and lime juice.
- Shake firmly for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is icy cold and well combined.
- Strain into the prepared glasses.
TOP TIPS
· If you prefer a less sweet cocktail use coconut milk instead of coconut cream and add extra lime juice to balance.
· Chill glasses to keep the drink colder for longer.
