Snowstorm Margarita

Ingredients

Unsweetened Coconut Milk, 1/3 cup

Add more or less honey or sugar granules to your taste

Silver tequila 2 oz

Coconut rum, 1/2 ounce

1/2 ounce orange liqueur

Juice of 1/2 Lime

Fresh mint for serving

Blueberries with sugar for dessert

Instructions

1. Bring the coconut milk and sugar to a gentle simmer on medium heat in a small pan. After 1 minute of simmering, remove the pan from heat and allow it to cool. To quickly chill, add a couple of ice cubes.

2. Fill a glass of ice with a cocktail.

3. Combine the tequila with the coconut rum and orange liquor in a cocktail mixer. Add lime juice and coconut milk. Shake well to combine. Pour into the glass. Add sugared blueberries, mint, and a dash of mint sugar.

RECIPE NOTES

Pouring coconut milk over ice will cause it to curdle if you don’t stir it. You can still enjoy it, but give it another stir before drinking. If you’re making a pitcher margarita, stir the mixture before serving. As it cools, the coconut milk may separate from the liquors.
