Tasting Notes

Frozen Spiked Coconut Lemonade brings a cool, creamy texture with a citrus-forward flavor. The cream of coconut adds a smooth sweetness, while the lime juice cuts through with a fresh, tart bite. Silver tequila gives it a light, earthy warmth that balances everything out without being too strong. The drink is icy and refreshing, especially when served right after blending. The grated nutmeg on top adds a soft, aromatic layer, making the first sip feel a little more complex. It’s a light and easygoing cocktail that feels just right on warm afternoons or whenever you want something smooth and chilled.

Equipment and Glassware

To make this cocktail, you’ll need a blender that can crush ice well and blend to a smooth texture. A jigger or measuring tools will help you keep the ingredients accurate. A citrus juicer will make it easier to get fresh lime juice, and a microplane or fine grater is perfect for dusting the nutmeg over the top. Use a chilled rocks glass or a short tumbler for serving. A long spoon or straw is optional if you like to stir or sip slowly. A sharp knife will come in handy for slicing the lime garnish.

Ingredients

• 2 oz silver tequila
• 2 oz cream of coconut
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1 cup ice
• Garnish: grated nutmeg and lime wheel

Instructions

• Pour the tequila, cream of coconut, lime juice, and ice into a blender.
• Blend on high until smooth and slushy.
• Pour into a chilled glass.
• Top with freshly grated nutmeg and a lime wheel.

Pro Tips

• Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor
• Chill your glass in the freezer before serving to keep the drink colder longer
• Add a pinch of salt to brighten the lime and balance the sweetness
• If your cream of coconut is thick, stir or shake the can before measuring
• Blend longer if you want a smoother texture, especially if your ice is chunky
• For a stronger cocktail, increase the tequila slightly
• Use a fine grater for the nutmeg so it doesn’t clump on top
• Garnish right before serving so the nutmeg stays dry and aromatic
