The most important thing about this coconut margarita is that you buy the right coconut product. Buy coconut cream, not coconut cream! A good rule of thumb is? Go for the soft bottle, not the can. Here’s what you need to know:

• coconut cream is a sweet syrup used for cocktails. It consists of coconut cream and sugar. It’s sold in convenient squeeze bottles for easy adding to drinks. Coconut Cream is easy to find online or at your local liquor store. A popular brand is Coco Real.
• coconut cream is not cute! It is thick with a strong coconut flavor and is sold canned along with coconut milk. Coconut cream is made by chilling coconut milk and then skimming off the layer of cream that floats to the top.
