Take classic margaritas up a notch with my easy pineapple margarita recipe! Made with pineapple juice, coconut water, and, of course, tequila, these pineapple margaritas are equally tart and refreshing.
Why I’m Obsessed With These Margaritas
If I’m out and about having a cocktail, it’s almost always going to be a margarita. My jalapeño grapefruit margarita has been my go-to for years and years, but this pineapple marg might take its spot! It’s sweet, tart and seriously so so refreshing.
This pineapple margarita recipe is inspired by my girl Rosie and features tequila, lots of pineapple juice, and coconut water. Shake it all up and serve over ice for a simply irresistible (and gorgeous) cocktail!
Ingredients
- Pineapple juice: The base of these pineapple margaritas! Canned or fresh pineapple juice will do.
- Tequila: The higher quality the tequila, the better tasting your margaritas will be. It’s as simple as that.
- Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is my go-to!
- Coconut water: I like to top these pineapple margaritas with a dash of coconut water. It adds a little sweetness and the perfect amount of coconut flavor.
Fun Garnishes
Fun rims: Get creative and serve these pineapple margaritas with fun rims! I like to use sea salt + tajin + coconut sugar. So good!
Garnishes: Add a fresh slice of pineapple, lime wedge, or jalapeño round to each glass before serving. It also looks really cute if you put a pineapple frond in the glass.
How to Make a Pineapple Margarita
- Prepare your cocktail glass: If you like a little salt on the rim of your glass for a margarita, prepare the rim of your glass by wetting the rim with a lime, and then dipping the rim in kosher salt or Himalayan salt. Add ice to the glass. Set aside.
- Add ice to the cocktail shaker: Be sure that you add ice to the cocktail shaker so all of your ingredients will be ice cold when you serve it.
- Pour all ingredients into the cocktail shaker: Add the tequila, lime juice, pineapple juice, and coconut water to the cocktail shaker, and shake shake shake.
- Serve over ice: Pour the margarita over the ice in your glass, and enjoy!
Make it a Batch Cocktail
This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, quadrupled, etc. Mix everything up in a pitcher and it’s ready for a crowd! Cheers!
