Creating Your Creamy Margarita Cocktail

This creamy margarita cocktail recipe will go down smoooooth and silky, as it’s made with decadent half and half cream.

I am a huge fan of easy cocktails and this is definitely one. Cocktails always have a wow factor that you can’t achieve with other drinks, even when they are ridiculously easy to make (as long as you have the ingredients on hand, which, to be fair, may be the hardest part).

The following photos may play tricks on your eyes, all you  have to do to make this creamy margarita cocktail is dump a few ingredients into a shaker.

If that’s too much, may I recommend instead this Pineapple Rum Cocktail? It’s also a good cocktail if you have a dairy allergy. Alternatively, substitute some full fat coconut milk into this, it’s my go-to dairy replacement because it maintains the creaminess!

Can we make it a Mocktail?

Absolutely! You will just need to remove Tequila from your ingredient list! Substitute your Tequila with Soda water.

Soda water is alwasy a great toption when it comes to replacing alchaol. It adds a little fizz to your drink to keep it tasty and fun!

All your other ingredients can remains the same for this delicious creamy cocktail.
