This blended coconut margarita is the recipe Astral Tequila, a Diageo brand, published in August 2026 when it announced a partnership as the official tequila of the Midnight Margarita for Warner Bros. Pictures' Practical Magic 2. The spec was reprinted the same month by Maxim and MyBartender, and Elite Daily reviewed it after the film opened in September 2026. Unlike earlier fan-made 'midnight margaritas', which are built on tequila and orange liqueur, this version skips orange liqueur entirely and gets its body from cream of coconut. The recipe here follows that published formula using any good blanco tequila; Jigger & Joy has no affiliation with the film or the brand.
