Jarritos soda is a well known soda pop brand that you can find in the hispanic food aisle of your local grocery store. If not there, then be sure to check the main soft drink aisle where all the other common brands are.

This unique pineapple coconut tequila drink has a balanced creamy texture (from the addition of the cream of coconut). It’s layered with a delicate bubbly fizz (from that hit of pineapple soda).

How To Make an Island Fizz Coconut Tequila Cocktail

  • On a flat plate, sprinkle down 2 big pinches of coarse salt and mix with 2 generous pinches of the fresh lemon zest.  Toss together with your fingers until a coarse sandy texture is reached.
  • Swipe your glass with a wedge of lime. Dip the rim of the glass into the sugar and salt lemon zest mixture.  Set aside.
  • Remove lid from the can of cream of coconut and gently stir the contents inside the can until completely combined. 
  • Note about the cream of coconut: A thick buttery white coconut solid will be settled at the top. A sweet clear layer will be settled at the bottom in the can. Just take your time and stir them together. Stir until combined into a creamy uniform mixture. >> Do this before using the cream of coconut in the cocktail.
  • Now, in a cocktail shaker, drop in the 2 tablespoons of cream of coconut, 2 oz of blanco tequila, 1/2 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of pure pineapple juice.
  • Add fresh ice enough to fill the cocktail shaker halfway.  Cover and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are combined, about 20 to 30 seconds, until creamy and frothy.
  • Pour the mixture into your tall glass with the lime zest rim. Now top off with the Jarritos pineapple soda pop. 
  • Garnish with a lime, pineapple, and cherry skewer.  Add a little cocktail umbrella, if desired, for a tropical island look. Serve ice cold.
