Concha coconut margaritas are the ultimate brunch cocktail. Made with concha simple syrup, coconut milk, tequila Blanco, fresh lime juice and rimmed with concha salt these babies are delicious.

Y’all I made Concha Coconut Margaritas! They are creamy, dreamy and infused with all the concha goodness.

The base of the cocktail is coconut milk for creaminess. Next, I add a concha simple syrup, that infused our concha coconut margarita with a concha flavor. Tequila Blanco, fresh lime juice and a concha salt rim complete the concha coconut margarita.

My concha salt rim is made by pulsing together diced conchas with salt to create a sweet/salty rim for the margarita.

I’m highlighting my childhood love for Conchas with a new series called TODAS LAS CONCHAS. 14 days of new concha recipes leading up to the sweetest day Valentine’s Day, featuring our beloved concha.

The sweet smell of conchas reminds me of my childhood. Nothing made me happier than walking to the panaderia with my Abuelito to buy pan dulce – the pink ones were my sister’s favorite; I preferred a chocolate concha. They were soft, fluffy, and sweet just like my Abuelito.

I grew up with conchas – and I am now raising my daughters on conchas – todo el amor

No other pan dulce represents our heritage culture, love of Mexico and reminds us of home and family like the concha.

The concha is SO much more than just a delicious pastry, it is part of our childhood, our memories of time with the family and the sweetest gift we share with our children.

What I also love is that talented bakers & bakeries are continuing to bake, share and experiment with our beloved concha gifting us with amazing new flavors, new concha designs and desserts featuring the concha – todo el talento

No need to pull out the food processor to make the salt rim, simply run a knife over the dice concha and salt together until you create a crumbly mixture or use your molcajete.
