Ingredients

For The Rim

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or Tajin
  • 1 lime wedge

For The Pineapple Margarita

  • 2 ounces tequila Blanco aka Silver Tequila
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 1 ounce lime juice preferably freshly squeezed
  • 2 ounces pineapple juice adjust depending on how strong or fruity you’d like it
  • ½ ounce agave nectar optional
  • 3/4 cup Ice

For The Garnishes:

  • Lime wedge
  • Pineapple slices

Instructions

  • Place the salt (or Tajin) in a small shallow plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass and dip it into a small plate of salt. Set aside.
  • Place tequila, orange liquor, lime juice, pineapple juice, agave nectar (if using), and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until chilled for about 15 seconds.
  • Fill a chilled glass with ice, then strain the drink over it.
  • Garnish with sliced lime or a few slices of pineapple and or mint leaves. Serve right away.

Notes

  • Yields: This recipe makes 1 pineapple margarita, and the nutritional values are for 1 serving.
  • Make it a pitcher: If you'd like to make it for a crowd, the ingredients below are for 8 servings. I recommend making this earlier in the day and storing it in the fridge with a lid (without ice).
    • 2 cups Tequila Blanco
    • 2 cups pineapple juice
    • 1 cup fresh lime juice
    • 1 cup orange liqueur or triple sec
    • ¼ cup agave nectar or simple syrup, plus more to taste
  • For the frozen version: You can make a slushy frozen pineapple margarita by using a cup of frozen pineapple chunks instead of pineapple juice and ice, following the same recipe. I recommend using a high-powered blender and using a splash of pineapple juice as necessary.
