Instructions

  1. Toast the coconut. Remove it from the heat and place it in a single layer on a plate.

  3. Place the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and cream of coconut in a cocktail shaker and add one handful ice. Shake until cold. Strain the margarita into the glass with the coconut rim. Fill the glass with ice and serve.
