What is the best way to serve a Coconut Margarita for a party?

For a party, serve Coconut Margaritas in chilled cocktail glasses with a coconut-flaked rim for an added touch. You can also prepare a large batch in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to give it a good stir or shake before serving to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
