What type of tequila is best for this drink?

Silver or blanco tequila works best to provide a clean, crisp base that balances the creamy coconut and lime flavors.

How can I make this drink non-alcoholic?

Replace tequila and triple sec with coconut water and a splash of orange juice for a refreshing, alcohol-free version.

Shredded coconut on the rim adds texture and enhances the coconut aroma with each sip, complementing the creamy base.

Yes, simple syrup or honey can be used, but adjust the amount to maintain the desired sweetness balance.

Blend for about 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slushy, ensuring an even, frosty texture.
