Pro Tips

For a cleaner presentation, use fine sea salt and lightly crushed dried flowers for the rim.
-
Pineapple coconut juice blends can be found pre-mixed, or you can combine equal parts of each juice if preferred.
-
Use a high-quality silver or blanco tequila to keep the drink crisp and balanced.
