Notes

Salt Rim Ideas - We used our homemade margarita salt for this recipe. Some other fun ideas are a salt rim mixed with Tajín.
Spicy Pineapple Margarita - To add some spice to this recipe, add some sliced jalapeño or serrano peppers to the cocktail shaker before shaking. You can also add a pepper slice to the top as garnish (this is also a good way to keep track if you aren't making them all spicy).
Pitcher Recipe - Increase this recipe for the number of people you are serving (for example, if you want to serve eight margaritas, increase this recipe 8x). Combine all ingredients in a pitcher (without ice) and stir to combine. You can store this in the fridge for several hours before serving. To serve, simply pour into glasses with fresh ice.
Blender Recipe - To turn this into a blender recipe, simply blend the ingredients together with ice. Optionally, you can add some frozen pineapple chunks for a consistency closer to a smoothie. To add a tropical twist, throw in some coconut flakes.
Add Sweetness - Because of the pineapple juice we didn't feel agave was necessary for this recipe. However, if you'd like to add a little bit more sweetness, you can add half an ounce of agave to your cocktail shaker.
