Apr 13, 2024 02:06 AM
Next time you need cocktails for a crowd, skip the cocktail shaker and whip up a batch of these pineapple jalapeño pitcher margaritas instead! The simple syrup is cooked with fresh jalapeño slices, which gives these margs a great kick of heat. Garnish with fresh pineapple and lime wedges!
Question: What’s spicy and sweet… and the perfect weekend cocktail treat?
Answer: SPICY PINEAPPLE MARGARITAS! An elevated version of my favorite quick cocktail: tequila and pineapple juice. These made-from-scratch spicy margaritas are super refreshing and easily serve a crowd. Unlike traditional margaritas that need to be individually shaken, these are whipped up in a pitcher. This is one of my favorite cocktail recipes to make a couple of hours before a party. That way once my guests arrive, all I have to do is fill some glasses with ice and serve!
