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.

Ingredients

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

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.
