Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Liquids
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz triple sec
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
Additional
- Salt for rimming
- Ice (as needed)
Instructions
- Prep the Glass: Rub the rim of your serving glass with a lime wedge and dip it into salt to create a salted rim. Set aside.
- Muddle the Fruit: In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh pineapple chunks and blueberries. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the fruit, releasing their natural juices and flavors.
- Add Liquids: Pour into the shaker the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, combining all the cocktail components.
- Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker with ice, then cover and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled and mixed.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice cubes, ensuring a smooth, pulp-free drink.
- Garnish: Top the drink with a few pineapple chunks and blueberries as garnish for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh fruit for the best flavor; frozen can be used in a pinch but may dilute the drink.
- Adjust the simple syrup quantity if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet margarita.
- For a stronger citrus flavor, add a splash of orange juice or use fresh lime wedges for rimming.
- To make it a frozen margarita, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
- Ensure your tequila is 100% agave for the best taste.
