Okay, it’s finally here Cinco de Mayo and your guests are coming soon and you are ready to celebrate! Pull out that blender and a fresh pineapple and Wow them with a fresh Pineapple Margaritas! Â The delicate flavors of pineapple are perfect to wash down a chip or two of my Whipped Queso Dip or Tropical Guacamole. Â I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful fresh pineapple tastes and it only takes seconds to cut-up or buy it already diced in the grocery store, but skip the canned stuff.
These Pineapple Margaritas will become a staple for upcoming summer parties, holiday get-togethers and definitely Mexican Fiestas. Â Salud or Arriba, abajo, al centro y adentro!
Ingredients
4 cups crushed ice
3 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1/3 cup silver tequila
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons Cointreau
2 tablespoons maple syrup
mint, optional
(Makes 4 Margaritas)
To Prepare:
1. Remove the top, bottom and sides of the pineapple. Â Then, cut the sides off around the core and dice into chunks.
2. Â Add the ice, pineapple and tequila to the blender. Â Then, add the almond milk, Cointreau and maple syrup. Â Puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. Â Add more ice if you prefer your margaritas a little more frozen.
3. Â Pour into glasses and serve with a chunk of pineapple and a sprig of mint. Â Enjoy!
