Why you should make this delicious creamy coconut Margarita this festive season

It might be the time of the year for mulled wine or perhaps a hot toddy; and there is nothing wrong with either. On the other hand, I am fully convinced you never go wrong with a refreshing margarita cocktail in your hand.

When entertaining during the festive season last year, this creamy white coconut margarita was an absolute hit. It’s packed with tropical flavours, and super smooth thanks to the coconut cream. And it certainly looks the festive part too. Don’t you agree?

Since I did not share the recipe last year, I thought it would be about time.
