Notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Adjust sweetness or tartness by modifying the amount of pineapple juice or lime juice.
- Use quality tequila, preferably blanco, for a cleaner taste.
- You can chill the glass beforehand for an even cooler drink.
- If coconut cream is unavailable, coconut milk can be used but will produce a lighter creaminess.
