Our simple yet sensational pineapple tequila cocktail has its roots in Mexico in the 1930s or 40s and has become an icon of the cocktail world. The original margarita was made with tequila, triple sec, and lime, and over the years, bartenders have played with every fruity twist in the book, including mango, strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, blackberry and melon, but this pineapple margarita recipe tops them all!
And if you want to take your pineapple margarita cocktail to the next level, smother the edge of the glass with a chilli-lime seasoning for zing, add a pour of agave for extra sweetness, or chuck a few sliced jalapeños into the shaker for a fiery punch. Feeling frosty? Blitz everything with ice for a frozen pineapple margarita cocktail. There’s no wrong way!
Serve this pineapple margarita recipe with a plate of grilled loaded nachos, a platter of macadamia and coconut crusted prawns, or simply sip solo as you picture that perfect beach sunset. And if you love this pineapple tequila cocktail, why not have a proper cocktail night with a classic Cosmopolitan, a mouthwatering Mai Tai, or an iconic Strawberry Daiquiri? Cheers to tropical escapes, no passport needed!
