Notes

To make a pitcher beforehand, combine only the pineapple juice, coconut water, lime juice, and tequila in a large pitcher in the fridge. Before serving, stir the cocktail mixture again, rim glasses, add ice, and add the cocktail mix and serve.

For maximum coconut flavor, try coconut tequila instead.

Add triple sec for a more traditional take on a margarita.

Use coconut milk instead of coconut water for a creamier result.
