The Best Tequila for Coconut Margaritas:
- 1800 Coconut Tequila is one of our favorites… with the coconut infused tequila you get a great flavor. Try making an 1800 coconut tequila margarita recipe low calorie with the recipe below.
- Silver Patron Tequila is another favorite tequila, though it is top shelf and may be a bit pricy for some budgets. A patron coconut tequila margarita is so yummy, you may never want to go back to a middle shelf tequila once you try it.
- Piedra Azul Blanco Tequila is my favorite “value” tequila. Low enough in price to cook with (like in my Tequila Lime Tacos) but smooth enough to shoot. This low cost tequila is fantastic for those of us on a budget.
The “on the rocks” and the “blended” coconut margarita recipes have the same ingredients… but just incase it helps to have them broken out, you can see both versions below. (Measurements in Recipe Card below).

Equipment You’ll Need to Make a Coconut Lime Margarita Recipe:
- Cocktail Shaker comes in handy when making a coconut margarita on the rocks… Though you can just add all the ingredients into tall cup, mix well with a spoon and pour over ice. But if you want to look super cool while making the coconut tequila drink… use a cocktail shaker (wink).
- Good Blender is necessary for making blended coconut margaritas… we are partial to Ninja blenders. But a high powered blender will do.
- Margarita Salt Rimmer is also great to have handy… though a small plate will work in a pinch.
- Margarita Glasses are great as well… and when serving to a group, so much fancier. If you don’t have margarita glasses, use high ball glasses.
