If you’re a lover of bold, zingy flavors and fresh, fruity indulgence, then you’ll want to check out this margarita variation that’s perfect for the Memorial Day weekend. The margarita is one of the country’s most beloved cocktails, and its simple combination of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur or other sweetner is the perfect base for experimentation and creativity.
One of this year’s big trends in cocktails is spicy and savory flavors, with many people turning to ingredients like fresh herbs, chilies, or vegetables to expand their cocktail palates into something more nuanced and unusual. This recipe is bang on trend for that, making use of jalapeno and pineapple for both spice and juicy freshness, but it’s still simple enough that you can whip it up quickly at home.
If you’re entertaining a big group of guests for the weekend then you may be better off batching up a simple cocktail, but if you have just a few guests and you all love bold and spicy flavors then this recipe is sure to be a hit. It comes from LALO Tequila, and for the best results try and find fresh pineapple slices and juice for maximum flavor.
