Description

This tropical cocktail brings a vibrant green twist to the classic margarita with pineapple juice, lime, and fresh herbs like mint or basil—perfect for summer sipping.

Ingredients

Scale

2 oz tequila (Blanco or Reposado)
1.5 oz fresh pineapple juice
1 oz lime juice
0.5 oz triple sec (optional)
3–5 fresh mint or basil leaves
0.5 oz simple syrup or agave nectar (to taste)
Salt or Tajín for rimming

Instructions

Rim your glass with salt or Tajín by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge and dipping it into your choice of seasoning.
In a shaker, add tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, triple sec (if using), fresh herbs, and sweetener.
Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.
Strain into a chilled, rimmed glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish with a mint sprig, lime wheel, or pineapple wedge.

Notes

Use fresh pineapple juice and vibrant herbs for best results. For a smoky variation, substitute half the tequila with mezcal. Blend with ice for a frozen version or omit alcohol for a mocktail.
