Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz tequila I used LALO Tequila Blanco
- 1 oz Cointreau or triple sec
- 3/4-1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz cream of coconut see notes
- Shredded coconut and marshmallow cream or icing
- Snow globe garnish: Rosemary icing holiday decorations, mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare glass - add shredded coconut to a shallow dish. Spread marshmallow cream along the rim of the glass. Dip in the coconut until the rim is coated.
- To a cocktail shaker- add tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, cream of coconut and ice. Shake until well chilled.
- Completely fill the prepared cocktail glass with pebble ice or crushed ice. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.
- For the snow globe presentation, add more ice if necessary. Garnish with a marshmallow snowman on a toothpick, icing decorations and rosemary sprigs as trees. Rest the slushy lid on the glass (glass should be smaller than the lid so the coconut rim is inside).
Notes
- Cream of coconut is different from coconut cream and coconut milk. You usually find it with cocktail mixers at the grocery store. It adds sweetness to the cocktail, so if you substitute for coconut milk or coconut cream, you may need to add another sweetener.
- For the snow globe presentation, choose a glass that is smaller than the slushy lid and rest it on the glass.
