Tips for making the Perfect Spicy Pineapple Margarita:
No Muddler? No Problem!
If you don't have a muddler tool, you can easily muddle the jalapeño, mint, and lime juice using the back end of a wooden spoon. Simply press and twist to release the flavors.
Pineapple Juice
I recommend using Trader Joe's brand pineapple juice for this margarita recipe. It has a great balance of sweetness and tartness.
If your pineapple juice is very sweet, you may want to decrease the amount of maple syrup added.
Chili Lime Rim
The chili lime seasoning rim is optional but highly recommended. Not only does it add a beautiful pop of color, but it also provides a delightful kick of flavor with each sip. The contrast of sweet, spicy, and tart is perfect.
