If you want to keep with the Mexican theme, you can garnish with a sprig of cilantro rather than mint. You’re going to love the balance of flavor in this cocktail. I swapped the rum for some tequila and mint for a few slices of jalapeño. This margarita recipe was inspired by my recent Pineapple Cranberry Mojito recipe, which is hell-a tasty, by the way. When I find a flavor combination I love, I tend to stick with it for a bit, re-working and re-mixing the flavors in new and exciting ways. So, I’m just going to smile, nod, and sip on this Cranberry Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita. I would give them the virtual middle finger and express a few bitter words if I weren’t concerned about being thrown back in the same desolate, lonely cell again. It has everything to do with Google placing me in a jail cell in the very deepest, darkest depths of the Interweb for a little over a month. I do, indeed, know exactly how I came to forget one of my very favorite holidays. How this slipped through the cracks, I’ll never know… One should never forget a holiday where booze, nachos, salsa, and tacos are the highlight of the day. And, thank goodness for my booze hoarding ways, because that bottle to tequila came in handy. Lucky for you, my booze cabinet is always stocked with a bottle of tequila, because you just never know. I almost–almost!–forgot about Cinco De Mayo. It’s the sophisticated margarita, if you will. Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar with 1 teaspoon of water in a small, nonstick skillet. Because we’re sophisticated, well-rounded adults, I made you a Cranberry Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita. For an even spicier cocktail, add sliced jalape ños (but taste first before adding).This sweet + spicy gem is just in time for your Cinco De Mayo celebrations. The perfect drink for those who share our love of all things hot.The Jalapeo Pineapple Margarita uses a flavor combination of pineapple and triple sec married. If desired, top with a slice of fresh pineapple and/or edible flowers. You could also rim the glass with Kosher salt instead. Garnishing: Although optional, we recommend garnishing the rim of the glass with Tajin (a chili, salt, and lime seasoning).Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (can be made up to 6 hours in advance).
To make a pitcher of margaritas (8 servings or 4 cups/1L excluding ice) : In a pitcher, combine ¾ cup tequila, ¼ cup Cointreau, 2 cups pineapple juice, ½ cup fresh lime juice, and ½ cup Jalapeño Simple Syrup.We recommend a fresh 100% pure pineapple juice, not from concentrate.
