Coconut Margarita

• 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 2 tablespoons for glasses (about 5 limes)
• 3/4 cup Coco Lopez or 3/4 cup cream of coconut
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons tequila
• 1/4 cup Cointreau liqueur or 1/4 cup another brand orange liqueur

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the coconut with the salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast this in the oven, stirring frequently until golden brown, which should take 8 to 10 minutes. Once the mixture is cool, crush it with your hands until it is crumbly.
2. Pour 2 tablespoons of lime juice into a shallow dish. Dip the rims of the cocktail glasses in lime juice, then into coconut mixture, coating it well.
3. Combine the remaining ingredients with 1 cup ice in a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth. Pour evenly in prepared glasses and serve immediately.
