It’s summertime and that means cocktails out on the porch!   Since I don’t work in the summer I love experimenting with fresh flavors and cocktails.  It’s so nice to sit out on our screened in porch in the evening and sip on a flavorful cocktail to relax after the day.  This week the Sunday Supper Movement is sharing Simple Mixed Drink recipes!

I love the sweet and tart flavor of this Pineapple Margarita!

One of my favorite cocktails is a margarita.   As I looked through my blog the other day I realized that I’ve made quite a few margaritas recipes but I’ve never blogged the classic margarita! How is that possible?   I have no idea but I’m not sharing the classic recipe today.

Today I’m sharing a Pineapple Margarita recipe.   I don’t know what it is about pineapples but I love enjoying them whenever I can.   I love the sweetness that a pineapple brings to kabobs, to a fruit salad, and to a cocktail.

Everything you need to make a delicious Pineapple Margarita!

While the pineapple we get in our hometown is good, it’s nothing compared to the pineapple we tasted when we were in Hawaii.  There is nothing quite like a fresh picked pineapple.  It’s sweet, it’s juicy, it’s totally delicious.  In fact, I almost had my brother ship me one when he went to Hawaii this spring!

This is a pineapple margarita recipe but it doesn’t have fresh pineapple in it.  It actually uses pineapple juice to get the sweetness and flavor.   I think that’s probably a good choice because the sweetness of pineapple juice tones down the liquor flavor in this margarita.  I also used a bit of orange juice to give it a little bit of tartness.

If you like sweet and tart you'll enjoy this awesome Pineapple Margarita!

The resulting cocktail is awesome.  It’s a sweet and tart margarita with tropical flavors.  It’s perfect for sipping in the summertime.
