Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Strainer
- Rocks or margarita glass
- Measuring jigger
- Plate for rimming (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 oz 1800® Coconut Tequila or any coconut-infused tequila
- 8 oz Pineapple Juice fresh is best, but bottled works
- 1/2 oz Grenadine optional for a sunrise effect
- Ice
- Lime wedge pineapple slice, or toasted coconut for the rim (Optional garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
- Start by preparing your glass. Riming it with toasted coconut or coarse salt adds an extra touch. Dip a lime wedge around the rim into a toasted coconut or salt plate.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
- Add coconut tequila, pineapple juice, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over fresh ice. If you’re adding grenadine for a sunrise effect, gently pour it over the back of a spoon so it sinks to the bottom and creates a layered look.
Step 4: Garnish
- Add a lime wedge, pineapple slice, or both to the rim of the glass for an extra tropical touch.
