We love to make a refreshing drink on the weekends as we lounge poolside. After all, we live in Florida. That’s what Florida living is all about. When pineapple are in season I love to make this Pineapple Tequila Cocktail. Best of all this recipe makes a whole pitcher! Nothing more than I hate then having to make individual drinks. My husband and I will actually play rock, paper, scissor to decide who is going to go back in the house to make another drink.

Why this Recipe Works

Refreshing and Delicious: The Pineapple Tequila Cocktail is a refreshing and tasty drink that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and sour pineapple juice and smooth tequila creates a perfect balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

Easy to Make: This cocktail is incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time. Simply combine tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, and agave nectar in a shaker with ice, shake well, and pour into a glass. It’s that simple!

Perfect for Summer: This cocktail is the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer day. The fruity and tropical flavors are reminiscent of a day at the beach or a relaxing vacation, making it the perfect way to unwind and beat the heat.

Ingredients

Ingredients on marble countertop; pineapple juice, patron, limes, and fresh pineapple.
  • Pineapple – You will puree a whole fresh pineapple in a blender plus additional for garnish in the pitcher and inside each glass. If you can’t find fresh pineapple in season you can use pineapple juice as a substitute.
  • Tequila – Use whatever you prefer to drink when it comes to the tequila in this recipe.
  • Agave – If you like sweeter drinks you will want to add all the agave. If you like it on the less sweeter side start with a little and continue to add until it’s to your liking.
  • Lime – You will want both fresh limes for garnish and lime juice. I like to use a lime juice concentrate, but you can also freshly squeeze lime.

Directions

Pitcher of pineapple cocktail in the background with a glass in the foreground.
  • Using a blender, puree pineapple (in chunks) until its fine like juice (you may need to do 2-3 batches depending on the size of your blender).
  • Mix in lime juice, 1 cup water, and agave. Pour into pitcher. Stir in tequila.
  • Pour over ice and garnish with pineapple chunks and lime wedges.

FAQs

What mixes well with Patron?

Pineapple juice like in this recipe mixes great with patron! As does orange juice, guava juice, cranberry, grapefruit soda, bloody mary mix, or even margarita mix.

Does pineapple soak up alcohol?

Select your favorite alcohol and the pineapple will absorb its flavor. Whether sitting in a bowl with straight alcohol or sitting in this mixed drink over time.

How long does pineapple last in alcohol?

If you plan to just soak pineapple in tequila, seal it in a jar for up to 10 days.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve found helpful when making this tequila pineapple drink recipe.

  • Virgin – Make this drink non-alcoholic by omitting the tequila.
  • Pineapple – You will want to cut and core the pineapple prior to pureeing in a blender.
  • Agave – If you like a sweeter drink you’ll want to add all the recommended amount. If not, omit and gradually add into the drink.
  • Pineapple Juice – If you don’t have fresh pineapple in season you can use pineapple juice. Just know that you may need to adjust the agave syrup and add less. Pineapple juice is typically much sweeter then a fresh pineapple pureed.
  • Garnish – I love to garnish my pineapple juice and tequila with fresh lime and chunks of pineapple. I’ll place a few in the pitcher and a few in the cup. Don’t let the pineapple chunks go to waste after the drink is done! It will be soaked in all the tequila goodness and tastes just as delicious.
