Margaritas are a favorite cocktail served at most Mexican restaurants or at home for parties or fiestas. I know my family has blended up their fair share of a fruit, sugar, tequila with lots of ice at many birthdays, holidays and family dinners. Margaritas are usually served blended or on the rocks with a salted rim and lime wedge and I am a big fan of the later, served skinny style with not too much mixer.
In this recipe, light coconut milk and fresh pineapple are blended with tequila and frozen on a stick to create a unique margarita flavor. Your guests can lick their way to margarita heaven with these easy to make pops. If you don’t have a popsicle maker, you can use paper cups and cover them with plastic wrap and insert a stick, then freeze. Have fun!
