Happy Friday!!
Pineapple Margarita
I have wanted to learn to can and took the opportunity to purchase jars in various sizes for Summer Fest. Since that recipe I haven’t canned , but I have used the jars.
For margaritas. It’s an addiction what can I say?
In late May I posted a margarita recipe for pineapple/cucumber which was adapted from my favorite agua fresca. This week I craved a crisp pineapple flavor dotted with a speck of lime.
Tequila Blanco is ideal for summer margaritas. A Blanco has a clean taste giving your fresh fruit juice center stage.
Fresh pineapple juice is preferred for this margarita. I know I continue to stress the use of fresh juice, but it really makes all the difference. In choosing a fresh pineapple look for brightly colored, deep green leaves.
Avoid any with bruises, soft spots or mold. Choose a pineapple with some weight for it’s size. I have found pre cut pineapple at my local grocery store. This can save you time without the hassle of coring the pineapple yourself.

we are having a late summer here in Paris, and to me this sounds like the perfect drink for the end of the afternoon!
Just the idea of this makes my mouth water.
I have to say I love canning with my jars, but I also love margaritas especially with pineapple. You have no idea I would like a margarita at the moment. Will have to try one of your variations, you have so many good ones.

Pineapple and a bit of lime = delightful, oh and the booze doesn’t hurt either 🙂
This looks wonderful. Nothing like a good Margarita!
what a fun summer drink!
Pineapple flavor sounds so good for a Margarita!
Looks wonderful!
Mmmm…I had a nice juicy pineapple this weekend, but it is all gone now. My next one is destined to be made into a margarita. Looks awesome 😀
Drinking out of canning jars feels so cool 🙂 Especially when the drink is a margarita. I love your pineapple twist…and that list of flavor options! Time for a Mexican night and margaritas for sure!
Very cool use of the jars! & I love that little pineapple-lime ring you’ve got there. Sounds delish! & definitely take your weekends for yourself; the world can wait for your amazingness ;).

This margarita looks so refreshing and perfect for entertaining. I look forward to trying this!!
