- 2 ounces grand marnier
- 2 ounces orange juice
- 1 1/2 ounces silver tequila

- 1 ounce coconut water
- 1 ounce canned light coconut milk
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- unsweetened shredded + toasted coconut for glass rims
- orange + lime slices for serving
To rim glasses, fill a plate with coconut. Rub honey or left over frosting on the rim – anything sticky that the coconut will stick too – then place on the plate to coat with coconut. Fill glass with ice. Combine all grand Marnier, orange juice, tequila, lime juice, coconut water, coconut milk and simple syrup in a shaker and shake well for 30 seconds. Pour over ice and garnish with wedges of orange and limes. Drink!
