Instructions
 

  • Make the Cocktail Rim:
    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 and dip the rim of the glass into the sugar and salt lemon zest mixture.  Set aside.
  • Stir the Cream of Coconut Before Using:
    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 and a sweet clear layer will be settled at the bottom in the can.
    Just take your time and stir them together until combined into a creamy uniform mixture.  Do this before using the cream of coconut in the cocktail.
  • Make the Drink:
    •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.
    •Top the drink 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.
