Pineapple Margarita Recipe

A pineapple margarita is an excellent and slightly sweeter variant of the classic lime margarita

Ingredients

• 1 oz. pineapple juice
• ½ oz. lime juice
• 1 ½ oz. blanco tequila
• ½ oz. orange liqueur
• For a spicy pineapple margarita, add ½ serrano pepper

Instructions

• To make a regular Pineapple Margarita, pour all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously, then strain into a glass with ice and a salted rim.
• To make the spicy Pineapple Margarita, chop the ½ pepper into a few pieces and muddle it in the shaker before adding the other ingredients.
• To balance the spice from the Serrano pepper, a touch of agave nectar can be added as well.
• Shake ingredients with ice, and strain into a glass with ice and a salted rim. Enjoy!

Makes one cocktail.
