RECIPE FAQ’S

A: Yes, sure! Double all the ingredients, and use a larger pitcher or punch bowl. You can use a Simply Limeade instead of lime juice to make a bigger pitcher of this drink.

Q: CAN I USE PACKAGED PINEAPPLE JUICE?

A. Yes, you can. Although fresh pineapple juice will give that extra touch of freshness and tropical flavor.

Q. DO I NEED TRIPLE SEC FOR MARGARITAS?

A. I highly recommend adding the triple sec or Cointreau to your margaritas! Triple sec is an orange liqueur that adds a lovely citrus flavor to the cocktail.

Q. WHAT IS THE BEST TEQUILA FOR A MARGARITA?

A. The best tequila type for margaritas is a Silver tequila (also called Blanco) because of its crisp, clean flavor. Reposado tequila can be used for a slightly richer and smoother taste. Avoid aged (añejo) tequila, as it may overpower the tropical pineapple flavor.

Q. Is there a way to make THIS MARGARITA spicy?

A. Yes! Add a few slices of fresh jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper to the cocktail shaker along with all the other ingredients for a spicy kick.

Q. HOW CAN I MAKE A FROZEN PINEAPPLE MARGARITA?

A. Simply add all ingredients to your blender with 1 1/2 cups of ice or 1 1/2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks. I recommend using a high-powered blender.
