Ingredients

• 750 ml Tequila (Silver or Blanco)
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened dried coconut flakes
• 1 piece Vanilla bean (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Start by choosing a clean, airtight 1-liter glass jar or bottle. Ensure the container is properly sanitized before use.

Step 2

2. Add the tequila to the jar or bottle, leaving some room at the top for the other ingredients.

Step 3

3. Measure 1.5 cups of unsweetened dried coconut flakes and add them to the tequila. Stir gently to ensure all the flakes are submerged in the liquid.

Step 4

4. If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise with a sharp knife to expose the seeds, then add the whole bean to the jar. This will add a subtle sweet and aromatic note to the infusion.

Step 5

5. Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 3 to 5 days. Shake the jar gently once a day to help the coconut flavors blend with the tequila.

Step 6

6. After the infusion period, set a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a bowl or another clean jar. Strain the coconut tequila to remove all the coconut flakes and vanilla bean. Discard the solids.

Step 7

7. Transfer the infused tequila to a clean bottle or jar. Seal it tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. The coconut tequila will last for several weeks.

Step 8

8. Serve chilled as a sipper, or use in cocktails like margaritas, piña coladas, or coconut tequila sunrises. Enjoy responsibly!
