Pineapple Margaritas Recipe
This pineapple margarita was made for sipping in the sun! It's made with fresh pineapple purée, white tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec, and features a sweet and spicy salt rim. It's simple to make, and it's ready in just 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces pineapple puree, see notes
- 2 ounces white tequila
- 1 ounce Triple Sec
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Make pineapple puree: Cut off the top and bottom of a pineapple and then cut it into 4 equal pieces. Use one piece (¼ of a pineapple), and then save the rest for another use. Slice off the peel and the hard inner core, chop the pineapple, and then put it into your blender. Blend on high until smooth. (Note: if you don't have a high-powered blender, you may want to strain the puree so there are no hard bits in it.)
- Make rim salt: Mix the sweet and spicy salt ingredients together in a small dish. Run a cut lime around the rim of a glass, then dip the rim into the salt. Fill the glass with ice.1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon cayenne
- Add ingredients to shaker: Put a handful of ice into a cocktail mixer or glass jar, add 2 ounces of the pineapple puree, the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice and stir until cold.2 ounces pineapple puree, 2 ounces white tequila, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, 1 ounce Triple Sec
- Serve: Strain the pineapple margarita into the glass and garnish with a slice of pineapple.
Notes
Pineapple puree: To make the puree, you'll need ¼ of a fresh pineapple. While I love the texture that blended pineapple brings to this cocktail, you can use store-bought pineapple juice if that's what you have on hand. Store-bought juice tends to be sweeter, so you may want to use less triple sec.
Puree amount: You'll have enough pineapple puree to make 4 cocktails.
Sweetness: Some pineapples are sweeter than others. If you find the margarita isn't quite sweet enough, add a little extra triple sec.
Make a pitcher: This is a very easy recipe to scale up for a party. Simply use cups instead of ounces and mix everything in a pitcher. For example, use 2 cups pineapple puree, 2 cups tequila, 1 cup triple sec, and 1 cup lime juice.
