![]() Why We Love This Classic Margarita Recipe If you make this recipe, please let me know! Leave a comment below or take a photo and tag me on Instagram or Twitter with #foodiecrusheats.The Best Margarita Recipe – Truly the absolute BEST margaritas we’ve ever tasted! These easy homemade margaritas are tangy, slightly sweet, and complex in flavor. But I added a little simple syrup juuuuust to sweeten it up a little bit. Joey’s recipe didn’t call for a sweetener, because this is a margarita, not a daiquiri. You can find coconut cream at Asian stores or online here. Coconut cream can coagulate in the can so be sure to stir it well and discard any chunks that don’t smooth out. The coconut cream gives the drink a more intense coconut flavor and creamy texture. You might feel you can skip the coconut cream and go just with coconut milk for this recipe, but I say don’t do it. If you’re not into oak, try Patron Silver instead. Reposado tequila imparts citrus and honey notes with a bit of earthiness after being barrelled in oak. I use Patron’s reposado tequila in this cocktail recipe. Sadly, I had to cancel my trip thanks to a medical procedure but that didn’t stop me from indulging in a few of these in homage to my waylaid trip. I originally planned on sharing this Coconut Margarita recipe when I hosted a photography session at this year’s Click Retreat as we cruised about the Caribbean. My friend Joey-a mixologist and the new co-owner of Grim’s Provisions and Spirits in Seattle’s Capitol Hill (be on the look for an amazing revamp)-introduced this recipe to me. But one favorite concoction of Patron-infused drinks has stuck out from the bunch-this one because it’s the best coconut margarita recipe. ![]() Since then I’ve had my fair share of tequila drinks. The railway trip left me with some amazing memories and a true affinity for the finer side of life (private trains, planes and automobiles!), including a penchant for sipping tequila whether it’s on, or off, the train. We spent most of the trip gazing at the ocean as we rattled through stations, sipping Patron tequila over ice, and in margaritas with a recipe closely guarded by the Patron team-aka fresh lime juice and Patron reposado-and laughing, laughing, laughing with friends brought together due to our love of animals and the countless hours spent finding them loving homes. One step in and you know you’ll never set foot in such a space again. The Patron Tequila Express is known for it’s extravagance and is decked out in the opulence that once decorated the original 14th century Maharajah’s palace, with marble bathrooms, lavish sleeping quarters and a gourmet kitchen. The mantra of the trip? All aboard the Patron train and break out the tequila. Long story short, after a heated battle that drove the price up, up and up, DeJoria called the live auction and my friends Bart and Stacy (he’s the hugger in the flowered shirt above, she’s the brunette beauty by his side) bought themselves a train ride.Īnd they invited friends! And my husband and I were two of them. The ride would be in John Paul DeJoria’s private train car hitched on the tail of an Amtrak train traveling from Los Angeles to San Diego and then back the next day. The big ticket item of the night’s live auction was an overnight trip aboard The Patron Tequila Express. The night was warm, it was fuzzy, and it was soooo L.A., complete with a papparzzi-studded red carpet, celebrity appearances (oh the stories we could tell and such a good thing that social media didn’t exist, yet) and lots of money that was generously raised for homeless animals. That year, our biggest fundraising event was Bow Wow Ciao, an amazing event at the Malibu estate of the previously mentioned billionaire John Paul DeJoria. ![]() It’s also where my love of tequila was cemented in stone.īack in the day-aka 10+ years ago and pre-child so I had plenty of extra time-I volunteered as a fundraiser/weekend adoption go-er/dog photo-taker/graphic designer and board member (all hands on deck for the animals!) for Much Love Animal Rescue in Los Angeles. Lucky me, I know people who are very generous and invited me and my husband along for the ride. This train was owned by self-made billionaire John Paul DeJoria, founder of John Paul Mitchell and Patron Spirits, and was deemed by DeJoria as, “the favorite of my 13 homes.” But unlike those other homes from New York to Hawaii, this one just happened to be powered by an Amtrak steam engine. Sure, I’d been on trains before, but nothing prepared me for this ride of a lifetime. A refreshing combination of coconut cream and coconut milk infuse tropical flavors into my favorite reposado tequila margarita, served on the rocks.
