Notes
- Swap coconut cream for lighter coconut milk to reduce calorie content and create a less dense cocktail texture.
- Use agave nectar or sugar-free simple syrup as alternative sweeteners for guests monitoring sugar intake.
- Select high-quality silver tequila for smoother taste and more refined cocktail experience.
- Prepare cranberry garnish ahead of time by freezing fresh cranberries to use as elegant, chilled drink decorations that won’t dilute the cocktail.
