If you are looking for a special cocktail this Key Lime Pie Margarita might just be it.

It's creamy, tangy, and sweet just like your favorite Key Lime pie but with a margarita kick! Perfect for Cinco de Mayo or any of your summer parties!

💭 Things to know

  • I used reposado tequila in this recipe. It's sweeter, smoother, and has a golden color compared to silver tequila. Either will work in this recipe.
  • Regular lime juice will work fine if you can't get key lime juice.
  • The Midori helps give it a pretty color but isn't necessary - you can just leave it out.
  • Make sure to use sweetened condensed milk - I used Eagle Brand.

    ✍🏻 A note from Marye...

    I know y'all don't always like the stories bloggers tell so when I have one I try to put it at the very bottom so you can read or skip as you like.

    I will be the first to admit that I don't really love regular margaritas -- I want mine sweet, slushy, and as large as possible so that I don't have to get up from my chair to refill it very often.

    This margarita is sweet, creamy/slushy, and you can make it as big as you want. It is SO good with tangy lime, creamy vanilla, and a touch of coconut flavor that it's almost a dessert.

    I was making them this morning and trying to get it exactly right for the pictures. At my house the BEST time for me to take pictures is between 9 am and 11 am so you can see the problem, right?

    I am finishing this post and heading to the gym. The yummy margarita I made is staring at me from across the table as I write.

    There's no way I'm getting through back and shoulder day after drinking a margarita so it will have to wait until later.

    So tempting. I mean, it's practically a lime version of an Orange Julius, right?

    Breakfast smoothie? No?
