Equipment and Glassware

• 0.75 oz cream of coconut
• 0.25 oz lime juice

• Fresh lime slice (for garnish)

Pro Tips

• Use a high-quality blanco tequila with smooth, agave-forward notes to enhance the drink’s balance.
• Shake thoroughly to fully integrate the cream of coconut and create a smooth texture.
• Chill the glass beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
• Try a dry sake for a more subtle effect or a slightly sweeter sake to enhance the creamy elements.
• Garnish with a lime zest twist for an additional aromatic burst.

When to Serve

The Coconut Tequila Easter Cocktail is a versatile cocktail that’s perfect for spring celebrations, Easter brunches, warm-weather gatherings, or elegant cocktail hours. Its light and creamy texture makes it an excellent pre-dinner aperitif, while its tropical notes make it equally suited for poolside lounging or festive holiday events. Whether you’re celebrating the season or simply enjoying a refined, smooth drink, this Coconut Tequila Easter Cocktail delivers a sophisticated yet easy-drinking experience.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the best results, use a smooth blanco tequila like Casamigos, Espolón, or Don Julio. Gekkeikan, Hakutsuru, or Dassai 45 are excellent sake options that provide a delicate, balanced depth. When selecting a cream of coconut, Coco López or Real Cream of Coconut will yield the creamiest texture. Opt for 100% white cranberry juice (such as Ocean Spray) for the freshest flavor.
