Ingredients
- 2 oz. pineapple juice
- 1 ½ oz. tequila silver
- 1 ½ oz. lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 oz. Cointreau or triple sec
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- lime for garnish, wedges or twists
- pineapple for garnish, wedge
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, filled with ice. (To make this a Spicy Pineapple Margarita, add a few slivers of jalapeno pepper to the shaker, too.)
- Shake the ingredients until ice cold, then pour into a margarita glass, rimmed with salt or Tajin.
- Garnish the margarita with wedges of pineapple and lime.
Notes
- This recipe makes one margarita, but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re pouring margaritas for a crowd.
- How to make this a pitcher drink: For a 6-drink pitcher, combine 12 oz. pineapple juice, 9 oz. silver tequila, 9 oz. lime juice, 6 oz. Cointreau and 6 oz. simple syrup in a pitcher. Stir until combined, then pour over ice with garnishes.
- How can I use margarita mix in this recipe? If you’ve got margarita mix (homemade margarita mix or the store-bought kind), omit the lime juice and simple syrup with 2 ½ oz. of the margarita mix.
- My favorite margarita store-bought shortcuts:
- Pineapple juice: You can purchase the refrigerated kind or the shelf-stable pineapple juice for this recipe, and it works like a charm. There’s no need to chase down the fresh juice or to make your own unless you really want to do that.
- Cold press freshly squeezed lime juice: It sounds silly, but if you can find this refrigerated lime juice that’s good to go, it’s worth the cost, especially if you’re entertaining.
- Simple syrup: If you’re unsure if you’ll have time to make and then cool simple syrup, they sell this bottled stuff in stores, too!
