Frozen Pineapple Margarita

Forget beer and wine – give me a margarita any day!

They’re deeeelish, so it’s no surprise considering they’re one of the most popular cocktails around.

Some of the best margaritas I’ve ever sipped were down in Mexico.

Maybe the sunshine and those beach views helped a little too, right?

But, with a Mexican vacation out of the picture for now, I decided to create a bit of margarita magic here at home.

The result…a frozen pineapple margarita!

This margarita recipe is perfect for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, a girls’ night, a tropical luau bash, or a backyard summer BBQ with your neighbors.

A pitcher of these pineapple margaritas is guaranteed to bring a taste of paradise wherever you’re enjoying them, but be warned.

They are dangerously good!

Ingredients for Frozen Pineapple Margarita

With only seven ingredients, these frozen pineapple margaritas are easy to make and ready in a snap!

They’re perfect if you need a quick party cocktail, but don’t want to spend all night playing bartender.

You can even prepare them in advance. (More on that in just a bit.)

• 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks (equivalent to two 16 oz. bags)
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup tequila
• 1/4 cup triple sec
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup ice
• extra lime and margarita salt for garnish

Equipment Needed

• Blender
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Jigger
• Margarita glasses
• Glass rimmer

Instructions for Frozen Pineapple Margarita

Blend slowly until the frozen margarita is smooth and all the pineapple chunks are incorporated.

Rub a fresh lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass, then dip and rotate it in the salt to fully coat the outer edge.

Prepping a pitcher of pineapple margaritas in advance is a great time-saver.

To make your frozen margaritas ahead of time, just follow the instructions listed.

Then pop the blender cup in the freezer once everything is mixed.

To defrost, take the blender full of the pineapple margarita out of the freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

Finally, prepare your glasses as normal, pour yourself a cold, frosty margarita, garnish, and enjoy!
