A cottontail margarita combines the classic flavors of lime, tequila and triple sec with sweet and creamy coconut.

Fill another small plate with shredded coconut. Roll the rims of two margarita glasses or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-cocktail-glasses\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-cocktail-glasses\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cocktail glasses<\/a> in the marshmallow creme. Then, roll the rims in the shredded coconut until they&#8217;re coated. Add ice cubes to each glass and set the glasses aside.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> The rims should have a thick coating of marshmallow creme so that lots of coconut will stick to them easily. You can also use a knife to spread on the marshmallow creme if it&#8217;s easier.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Mix the margaritas<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the tequila, cream of coconut, lime juice, agave syrup, triple sec, vanilla extract and ice into a cocktail shaker. Shake the ingredients well for 12 to 15 seconds or until the liquid is thoroughly chilled.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Assemble the drinks<\/h3>\n<p>Strain the margarita mixture into the glasses. Divide it evenly between the two, and be careful not to disturb the rims. Add a few ice cubes to each glass, if necessary. Make the garnish by threading a cocktail pick through the top and down through the bottom of each Peeps rabbit. Add one to each glass and serve the margaritas immediately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2120036\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Cottontail-Margarita-TOHD24_279380_SarahTramonte_3.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Cottontail Margarita\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">SARAH TRAMONTE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Cottontail Margarita Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Try a sugar rim:<\/strong> Omit the marshmallow creme and coconut, and instead dip the glass rims in lime juice and then roll them in sugar\u2014or colored sugar\u2014for a more festive touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a frozen cottontail margarita:<\/strong> Add the margarita ingredients and crushed ice to a blender. Process everything until the mixture is slushy, then pour it into the prepared glasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Cottontail Margaritas<\/h2>\n<p>If you have leftover cottontail margarita base, it can be refrigerated to enjoy another time. Transfer the margarita mixture to a sealed container or covered pitcher. It can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. Wait to coat the rims of the glasses with marshmallow creme and shredded coconut until you&#8217;re ready to serve the drinks.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make cottontail margaritas ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can turn cottontail margaritas into a batch cocktail to hold in the fridge until you&#8217;re ready to serve. Double or triple the recipe, depending on how many servings you need. Combine the tequila, cream of coconut, lime juice, agave, triple sec and vanilla extract in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/drink-pitchers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/drink-pitchers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drink pitcher<\/a> and store it in the fridge. Coat the glass rims with marshmallow and coconut, and add ice just before serving.<\/p>\n<h2>Cottontail Margarita Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best glass to use for cottontail margaritas?<\/h3>\n<p>There are many options available for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/margarita-products\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/margarita-products\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">margarita glasses<\/a>. Restaurant margaritas are typically served in thick-stemmed glasses with wide bowls and wide rims that hold plenty of salt. Shorter, stemless margarita glasses are also popular, as are rocks glasses or Mason jars. Though, for this festive cottontail margarita, I like to show off the creamy texture, coconut rim and Peeps garnish in a tall, stemmed margarita glass.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use coconut milk to make a cottontail margarita?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;d prefer to use real coconut milk instead of cream of coconut, this is certainly an option for your cottontail margarita. It&#8217;s less sweet, so the cocktail will be more citrusy and tangy\u2014in which case, you can always add more agave nectar to bring the sweetness up. The downside to using real coconut milk is that it curdles when mixed with tequila. Even though the margarita will still taste good, the texture won&#8217;t be as creamy.<\/p>\n<h3>What else can you serve with cottontail margaritas?<\/h3>\n<p>Cottontail margaritas are perfect to serve at holiday parties alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/easy-easter-desserts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/easy-easter-desserts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Easter desserts<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-pudding-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-pudding-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lemon pudding cake<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/rainbow-strawberries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/rainbow-strawberries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rainbow strawberries.<\/a> If you&#8217;re hosting a springtime brunch, consider skipping the usual mimosas and surprising your friends with cottontail margaritas instead.
