Coconut Margarita

Martha (Stewart) can make 'em!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup  freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 2 tablespoons for glasses (about 5 limes)
• 3⁄4 cup  Coco Lopez or 3⁄4 cup cream of coconut
• 1⁄2 cup  plus 2 tablespoons  tequila
• 1⁄4 cup Cointreau liqueur or 1⁄4 cup  another brand  orange liqueur

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the coconut with the salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast this in the oven, stirring frequently until golden brown, which should take 8 to 10 minutes. Once the mixture is cool, crush it with your hands until it is crumbly.
2. Pour 2 tablespoons of lime juice into a shallow dish. Dip the rims of the cocktail glasses in lime juice, then into coconut mixture, coating it well.
3. Combine the remaining ingredients with 1 cup ice in a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth. Pour evenly in prepared glasses and serve immediately.
