Here’s how to make this delightful Pineapple Margarita that will transport you to a beachside paradise.
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila (blanco or reposado works best)

- Salt or sugar for rimming the glass

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
- Rim the Glass: Start by rimming your glass with either salt or sugar. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip it into a plate of salt or sugar to coat the edge.

- Shake: Fill the shaker with ice, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well.
Step 3: Serve
- Strain and Pour: Remove your glass from the freezer (if you chilled it) and strain the margarita mixture into the glass over fresh ice.
