Frozen Pineapple Margarita
Forget beer and wine – give me a margarita any day!
They’re deeeelish, so it’s no surprise considering they’re one of the most popular cocktails around.
Some of the best margaritas I’ve ever sipped were down in Mexico.
Maybe the sunshine and those beach views helped a little too, right?
But, with a Mexican vacation out of the picture for now, I decided to create a bit of margarita magic here at home.
The result…a frozen pineapple margarita!
This margarita recipe is perfect for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, a girls’ night, a tropical luau bash, or a backyard summer BBQ with your neighbors.
A pitcher of these pineapple margaritas is guaranteed to bring a taste of paradise wherever you’re enjoying them, but be warned.
They are dangerously good!

Equipment Needed
Instructions for Frozen Pineapple Margarita
Step 1: Add Ingredients to Your Blender
To start, pour the frozen pineapple chunks, lime juice, sugar, tequila, triple sec, and ice into the blender.
Blend slowly until the frozen margarita is smooth and all the pineapple chunks are incorporated.
Step 2: Prepare Your Margarita Glass
Next, fill a small plate or glass rimmer with margarita salt.
Rub a fresh lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass, then dip and rotate it in the salt to fully coat the outer edge.
Step 3: Pour Your Margaritas and Enjoy!
Pour your finished pineapple margarita into a glass, garnish with a fresh lime wedge, and enjoy!
Can You Make Frozen Pineapple Margaritas Ahead of Time?
Absolutely!
Prepping a pitcher of pineapple margaritas in advance is a great time-saver.
To make your frozen margaritas ahead of time, just follow the instructions listed.
Then pop the blender cup in the freezer once everything is mixed.
To defrost, take the blender full of the pineapple margarita out of the freezer about 30 minutes before serving.
Finally, prepare your glasses as normal, pour yourself a cold, frosty margarita, garnish, and enjoy!
