The best cocktail ever!
So, I’m always making this cocktail for at least four people at a time. Given that, the “shot” glass I use is about 80mls. You can make this for one person with a regular shot glass, just halve or quarter the amount of lime and ice. The rest will scale just fine. Just be mindful that my reference to a “shot” below is my big 80ml shot glass to make about four drinks.
1 lime
1.5 shots tequila
1/2 shot cointreau
2 shots coconut cream
3/4 shot sugar syrup
1 tray of ice
Sugar/salt rim
-
Cut the lime in to quarters and put the lime, tequila and Cointreau in a blender and blend on high until the lime is liquid. And yes, the whole lime including the skin. It’s great 🙂
-
Add coconut cream, sugar syrup and ice to the blender and blend until slushy consistency.
-
Dip the top of your glasses in the remaining sugar syrup and then dip in the sugar/salt mix so the whole rim is coated. Repeat with remaining glass(es).
-
Pour cocktail in to rimmed glasses and enjoy getting drunk in a flavour haze.
Notes:
Sugar syrup is just 1/2 sugar: 1/2 boiling water. Depending on how many cocktail rounds I’m planning on making, I’ll usually do half a cup to one cup of sugar and boiling water. Stir the equal portions together in a heatproof bowl and chill until ready.
To make the rim, combine equal parts sea salt and white sugar in a container that will fit the rim of whatever glass you’re using.
