Fresh Pineapple Margarita Recipe

Aged Tequila Pineapple Margarita

fresh pineapple margarita

When you want to sip a refreshing tropical cocktail on a warm afternoon, make a fresh pineapple margarita with aged tequila and a fruit garnish.

The fruity cocktail is nice to serve for guests at a party or you can enjoy it yourself while sitting by the pool or lounging in a hammock.

I like this drink best, when it is made with fresh pineapple.

However, you can use canned, if that is what you have.

Feel free to experiment with different types of tequila.

I used an aged (anejo) tequila that I picked up on vacation, since it is a favorite that tastes good and reminds me of white sand beaches in Mexico.

Salud!
