:: Coconut Margarita ::
You put the lime in the coconut and drink this Coconut Margarita all up! Oh my! Though we did a family vacation last month, I am simply dreaming of escaping to a tropical island for a week with my husband. Sorry, but no kids and lots of Coconut Margaritas! {Love the kids but it’s been a long 9 days.} An ocean breeze, palm trees, and quiet….lots of quiet is what I think these margaritas would go perfect with. But since that’s not happening anytime soon, I will happily drink a Coconut Margarita and pretend!
My hubby has been away working at the fires in Northern California. Of course the kids are sick, and we have been stuck inside. So instead of wallowing in my piles of laundry, I decided it’s time to pretend… tropical vacation here I come!
Sometimes in life you just have to treat yourself. These are one of the treats I highly recommend. This Coconut Margarita can be turned into adult popsicles or better yet, Smitten Kitchen has an amazing Frozen Coconut Limeade drink {that I adapted this recipe from} that is wonderful as a non-alcoholic summer beverage.
However you decide to enjoy this Coconut Margarita, I highly recommend enjoying a batch of these while we can still soak in summertime.
