Mixing
  1. In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, coconut liqueur, lime juice, pineapple juice, agave syrup, and coconut milk.

Notes

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. For variations, use coconut cream instead of coconut milk for vegan options or add passion fruit juice for extra zing.
