Pineapple Margarita Ingredients
Tequila – Silver or gold tequila is traditionally used in margaritas but feel free to use any type of tequila with this recipe.
Lime Juice – You can’t make margaritas without fresh squeezed lime juice.
Kosher Salt or Sugar – Some might say this is optional but I LOVE lots of salt with my margaritas. Use either salt or sugar to rim your glass.
Pineapple Chunks – I used fresh pineapple but feel free to use canned. Your cocktail will still taste amazing. Also, use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice when serving.
Pineapple Juice – Juice is used in place of agave or simple syrup in this cocktail to sweeten it.
