Note
- Pitcher recipe: For an eight-serving pitcher, stir together 3 cups cream of coconut, 2 cups tequila, 1 cup orange liqueur, and 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about eight limes). Refrigerate for up to a day. When ready to serve, stir the pitcher well, pour each drink into a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake as you would. Most cocktail shakers can handle two drinks at a time. While you could have guests serve themselves from the pitcher, shaking better incorporates the cream of coconut, adds the necessary dilution, and aerates the drink for an improved texture.
- There is a difference between coconut milk, coconut cream, and cream of coconut. They are all three different products. Cream of coconut is typically found in the grocery aisle with drink mixers. It has a syrup-like consistency.
- To toast coconut, add it to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the coconut starts to brown and turns fragrant. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat as soon as it toasts.
- 3 ounces of cream of coconut makes a drink that's sweet like a piña colada. If you like your margaritas less sweet, you might prefer 1 ounce of coconut cream.
