Ingredients
- lime wedges
- coarse salt
- 2 ounces silver tequila (tequila blanco)
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 ounce triple sec or Cointreau
- juice from one lime (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Run the rim of a glass with a lime wedge to get some juice on it. Place the salt on a small plate and dip the edges into it. Skip to step 3 if making in the blender.
- Add ice to each glass. Add the tequila, pineapple juice, triple sec and lime juice to a cocktail shaker and shake . Then strain the mixture into the glass. Garnish with lime slices and pineapple chunks.
- If making in a blender simply add multiple amounts of ice, tequila, pineapple juice, triple sec and lime juice. Pulse on high a couple of times until the ice is crushed and the drink is blended. Pour into prepared glass and garnish with limes slices and pineapple chunks.
Notes
- The salt rim can easily be omitted. It is traditional for margaritas but for those watching their salt you can replace with sugar or omit.
- Triple sec is a sweet orange flavored liqueur that is sold at most local grocery stores and liquor stores.
- For best flavor use fresh lime juice. Roll the limes against the counter top with the palm of your hand for easier juicing.
- You can use any kind of orange liqueur for this recipe. Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, and Cointreau all work well with Triple Sec being the most budget friendly.
- Limes wedges or slices, pineapple wedges, lemon wedges or slices, maraschino cherries or grapes can be used for garnish.
- For a spicy pineapple margarita throw some pickled jalapeno slices into the glass before pouring.
