Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounce (3 tablespoons) Reposado or Silver tequila
  • ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) orange liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Triple Sec)
  • 5 ounces (⅓ cup) Pineapple juice
  • 1 ½ ounce (3 tablespoons) fresh-squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) simple syrup* (optional -- see notes below)

Instructions

  • Add ice to a rocks/short cocktail glass or a margarita glass.
  • In a beaker or measuring pitcher, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Stir until well-combined.
  • Pour over the ice, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

*If you like your margaritas on the sweeter side, use simple syrup. If you prefer your cocktails on the dryer side (meaning less sweet) do not use simple syrup; the pineapple juice will be plenty sweet enough.
