Here are some Frozen Margarita Pineapple recipes that will blow your taste buds away.

• Frozen Mango Pineapple Margarita: This must be one of the greatest fruit combinations of all time. Two tropical kings coming together for a magical cause!
• Frozen Pineapple Margarita no Triple Sec: This simplified take on a Frozen Pineapple Margarita leaves out the triple sec –but you won’t miss it. The recipe calls for just three ingredients (aside from the ice): Blanco tequila, fresh pineapple and lime juice.
• Frozen Pineapple Margarita with Pineapple Juice: No frozen pineapple? Use pineapple juice instead. Pineapple juice has the tendency to spoil very quickly once it’s exposed to air, which is why canned juice is the best. You can also use freshly pressed pineapple juice if it’s available where you live.

Tips for Making the Best Frozen Pineapple Margarita Recipe

Elevate your Margarita game with these simple tips and tricks:

• Juice the limes ahead of time: Juice the limes up to 48 hours in advance and store them in a mason jar in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Make a mocktail: Omit the tequila and replace it with a splash of lime-flavored sparkling water.
• Decorate your Margarita with a rim: Whether you like it salty, sweet, or spicy, there is no denying the effect Margarita salt has on the drink. If unsure about the rim, feel free to coat halfway to have a taste of both sides.
• Add honey or agave nectar for extra sweetness: Taste before adding the sweetener as the pineapple will likely be sweet enough.
