The weather has turned awesome here in the Pacific Northwest. This means the garden is growing, the hills are greener than usual and refreshing drinks on the deck, like these Coconut Lime Frozen Margaritas are about to start happening. Spring here in Oregon is beyond beautiful and reminds me every passing year why we put up with the rain.
And all this sunny-ness is also a reminder of my serious love for frozen and fruity margaritas…especially when a bowl of salty chips and salsa are at hands reach. And I do love coconut and lime together, it’s the perfect combination in so many recipes, so why not margaritas.
I dipped the edge of the glasses in a little lime juice so the salt and lime zest mixture would stick. This helps cut the sweet mixture and it looks super festive too.
I hope you all have a good blender with an ice crush setting. I absolutely love my blender and I work it to death without issue or feeling like I’m going to burn up the motor. It even makes nut butters with ease and of course awesome margaritas.
This picture is of my limes after they have been squeezed of juice. If there is one thing I cannot live without in my kitchen it’s my citrus squeezer. My limes were kind of dry and with my hand I couldn’t get any juice out, but with my squeezer I was able to extract lots of juice. I give this squeezer as a gift for housewarmings, showers or just because. I promise you need one.
Let me know how yours turn out.

We just got back from Cozumel, where Margaritas were in plentiful supply, but we didn’t have anything like this. We sought out the best Margaritas and the best coconut ice cream – this seems to be right up our alley! We will definitely try these! Thanks!

I made these a few years ago and they were AWESOME. Now I want to make for a large group, Question: can I make a big batch ahead and store in freezer or would refrigerator be best?
