These drinks are a refreshing flavor bomb. I created them last year (2020) when our football team went to the Super Bowl, and won….Way to GOOO, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!!! Don’t you like my made up name?…Chiefaritas? I think it’s catchy!
I made these non-alcoholic but, if you prefer, you can add some tequila in them (as much as you like)…to give them a greater kick, just don’t drink and drive!
The KC Chief colors are red, yellow (gold), and white so I picked fruit colors that would give me this color theme, as well as taste good together. The red strawberries, the yellow pineapple and the white coconut. Depending on your teams colors, you can tailor this drink to match them. Blueberries for blue, cantaloupe or oranges for orange, honeydew or green grapes for green, etc. If you want deeper colors, like a burgundy or dark green then you can also add some veggies in it to change the color…a little bit of beets or spinach would do the trick, or use some food coloring, but not too much…you don’t want to change the taste. Have fun creating your drink and colors, your imagination is your friend!
You just need:
- 16 ounces of frozen whole strawberries
- 1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks or an 8 ounce can of 100% pineapple juice
- 8 cups of your favorite regular margarita mix
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk
- Unsweetened shredded coconut, fresh pineapple chunks, fresh strawberries, lime slices and/or granulated sugar, for garnish
- Pretty small glasses
- Add half of the strawberries, pineapple chunks or juice and margarita mix to a blender (If you have a humongous blender then do it all).
- Let sit for 5 minutes so the margarita mix slightly softens the frozen fruit.
- Blend well until everything is a smooth slush, then add half of the coconut milk (or again, all of it if your blender is very large).
- Blend one more time until all combined and serve in pretty flutes that have been rimmed with lime and dipped in granulated sugar (optional), or other clear glasses. If it seems to thick you can add a little more margarita mix, as needed, and re-blend…but eventually, as it sits for several minutes it will become less thick on it’s own.
- Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top and add a piece of fresh pineapple, strawberry and/or lime section onto a cocktail skewer and lay on top of glass or just cut them and stick on the actual glass. Enjoy!
