Happy Cinco de Mayo! 
Several friends are coming over this evening and I immediately knew what to make for ‘Happy Hour’… my favorite margaritas in the whole world. I could seriously drink an entire pitcher of these. Now, that wouldn’t be very responsible of course, but hey, I’m at home and I’m not driving, right??
Coconut Margaritas
4 c ice
4 tsp Cream of Coconut (Coco Lopez)
8 oz pineapple juice
4 oz tequila
8 oz Sweet & Sour mix
2 oz orange-flavored liqueur (Triple Sec)
Lime wedges
Sugar
Place ice in a blender and add remaining ingredients except for the lime wedges and sugar. Blend until slushy. To make the margaritas thicker, add more ice and blend.
Rub rims of glasses with a lime wedge, then dip the rims in sugar. Pour margaritas and enjoy!
Makes approximately 4 margaritas.

These look delicious and dangerous! Now I need one of these and some enchiladas!
Good Idea I never thought of this. I am going to try it. My favorite is a vanilla margarita but coconut seems even better.
This looks fabulous for Cinco de Mayo!!
How have I lived without these all this time??! I *love* anything with Coco Lopez in it…this is definitely getting made soon! Wanna come drink a few of these out by the pool with me??
Oh I love ritas, and coconut, but never combined the two, must remedy that injustice right away!
Oh yum! These look great. I love coconut and who doesn’t love margaritas?
What a great twist on a traditional Margarita! I love coconut and margaritas so this is right up my alley. Thanks for the post. Can’t wait to try them!
