Tequila
Cointreau
Lime juice
Pineapple juice
Agave syrup
Add ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds.

The sweetness of the pineapple complements spicy, salty, and citrusy dishes perfectly.
Use fresh pineapple juice or blend & strain fresh pineapple chunks for best flavor.
Want it blended? Add all ingredients to a blender with ¾ cup ice.
Add a few jalapeño slices to the shaker for a spicy pineapple variation.
Try a mezcal float for a smoky finish.
Use a pineapple-infused tequila for an even fruitier version.
The Pineapple Margarita is a tropical evolution of the original Mexican margarita. Popular in tiki and beach bars, it offers a fruit-forward profile while staying true to the margarita’s iconic balance of tart lime, strong tequila, and gentle sweetness.
