🍲 Instructions

Start by adding 2 ½ cups of ice to your blender, followed by 4 ounces of tequila, 2 ounces of triple sec, the juice of half a lime, 1 ounce of simple syrup, 2 ounces of creamy coconut milk, and 2 ripe kiwis (peeled, of course!).

Blend until smooth and creamy, then grab your margarita glasses. Take the spent lime half and use it to moisten the rims of the glasses before dipping them in sugar for a sweet touch.

Now, pour the concoction from the blender into your prepared glasses. The vibrant green hue of the kiwi, combined with the creamy coconut, creates a visually stunning drink that’s as delightful to look at as it is to sip. Drink up!

🤷 Substitutions and variations

Substitutions and variations offer endless possibilities to tailor this recipe to your preferences! Swap out tequila for vodka or rum for a different twist on this tropical treat. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the alcohol and increase the coconut milk or add coconut water for extra hydration.

Experiment with different fruits like pineapple or mango to create your own signature frozen margarita. The options are limited only by your imagination!

📦 Storage

Keep in the fridge for up to a few hours. These frozen margaritas are not meant to be stored for very long and enjoyed right out of the blender.

🎓 History tidbit

Let’s delve into the fascinating history of kiwis! Native to China, these small, fuzzy fruits were originally known as Chinese gooseberries. In the early 20th century, they made their way to New Zealand, where they flourished and were renamed “kiwifruit” after the country’s national bird, the kiwi.

It wasn’t until the mid-20th century that kiwifruit gained popularity outside of New Zealand. Today, they’re enjoyed worldwide for their unique flavor and nutritional benefits. From smoothies to desserts and, of course, margaritas, kiwis add a delightful tropical twist to any dish. So, when you sip on a Frozen Kiwi Coconut Margarita, you’re not just enjoying a delicious cocktail – you’re also tasting a bit of kiwi history!

📝 Tips and tricks

• Ripe Kiwis: Choose ripe kiwis for the best flavor and sweetness. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
• Chill Ingredients: For an extra refreshing margarita, chill your ingredients before blending. Cold ingredients will help keep your drink icy cold without diluting it too quickly.
• Adjust Sweetness: Taste your margarita mixture before blending and adjust the sweetness to your liking. Add more simple syrup for a sweeter drink or dial it back for a more tart flavor.
• Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Try adding a splash of flavored syrup or a hint of citrus zest to customize your margarita to your taste preferences.
• Serve Immediately: Margaritas are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they’re blended to prevent melting and maintain optimal flavor and texture.
