Who doesn’t love a margarita? I also love anything that’s fruity with alcohol in it. Those types of drinks are very dangerous because they go down so smoothly.
WHAT DO I NEED FOR A PINEAPPLE MARGARITA?
- Pineapple juice – use whatever brand you enjoy or juice your own
- Tequila – I like using a blanco tequila to keep the flavor pure with no oak or smoke notes in it.
- Triple Sec – you can use any orange liqueur you like or have on hand, such as Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, or Cointreau.
- Lime juice – squeeze or use a citrus reamer to juice a fresh lime instead of using bottled for the best flavor.
- Sugar or salt and chili powder or paprika or cayenne for rimming the glass
Make it a cocktail party with a few appetizers to serve with your Pineapple Margaritas:
- Glazed Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings
- Crispy Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
- Honey Bourbon Glazed Scallops
- Extra Flavorful Jalapeno Poppers
Add a few Jalapeno Guava Margaritas or a Classic Cadillac Margarita to please everybody’s drink preference.
