Dip the rim of a martini glass into cream of coconut, rotating to coat evenly. Press the coated rim into flaked coconut, rotating until fully covered. Set the prepared glass aside.
In a shaker filled with ice, combine tequila, raspberry liqueur, triple sec, sour mix, and grenadine.
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass for an elegant presentation or into a rocks glass with fresh ice for a casual option.
Add a lime wheel or skewer a few fresh raspberries to decorate, mimicking Santa’s festive hat. (optional)
Notes
Pro Tips
Coconut consistency: Use finely shredded or toasted coconut for a unique rim texture and added flavor.
Sour mix substitute: Freshly squeeze lime and lemon juice with a splash of simple syrup for a fresher taste.
Chill the glass: Place the prepared glass in the freezer while mixing the cocktail to keep it icy cold.
