Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • On a flat plate, mix 2 generous pinches of coarse salt with 2 generous pinches of sugar and sprinkle in 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.
  • Remove lid from the can of cream of coconut and gently stir the contents inside the can until completely combined. 
  • Open the can of cream of coconut and stir contents together very well until throughly 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 tablespoons of cream of coconut, tequila, fresh lime juice, and 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.
  • Taste the mixture to adjust sweetness.  If too sweet, squeeze in more fresh lime as desired.
  • Empty contents into your prepared cocktail glass.
    Garnish with a pick of skewered pineapple chunks and lime slices.
    Top with a cocktail umbrella.
    If desired, top off with an additional splash of pineapple juice, stir in, and enjoy.  Serve ice cold.
