Tasting Notes

The Raspberry Coconut Margarita is a rich, fruity cocktail that blends tropical creaminess with the bright tang of fresh raspberries and lime. Blanco tequila provides a clean, bold base, while orange liqueur adds a subtle citrus warmth. Cream of coconut gives the drink a silky, indulgent texture, and muddled raspberries infuse it with sweet, tart berry flavor. Lime juice brightens the mix, pulling everything together into a smooth, refreshing sip. Garnished with lime slices and fresh raspberries, this cocktail is equal parts elegant and playful—perfect for warm evenings, brunches, or tropical-themed gatherings.

Equipment and Glassware

To make this luscious margarita, you’ll need a muddler to crush the raspberries and release their juice. Use a jigger for accurate measurements and a cocktail shaker to chill and combine the ingredients smoothly. A fine mesh strainer is ideal for removing raspberry seeds and pulp for a velvety texture. Shake with ice for a chilled, refreshing finish. Serve in a rocks glass or margarita glass, and use a cocktail pick or skewer to present the lime and raspberry garnish with flair. A citrus press will help extract fresh lime juice quickly.
