Cheers Blog: Phil's Pineapple Margarita

Phil 2010/8/4

Jessie and I have been on a margarita kick lately. It started with the mild spring and early summer. As summer winds down we found ourselves looking for a variation on our favorite margarita recipe, this is what I came up with…

Phil’s Pineapple Margarita

The pineapple flavor in this variation is a refreshing alternative to standard margaritas

Ingredients

1	small pineapple (about 3 1/2 pounds) (or buy one of those tubs of pre-cut pineapples)
1/4	cup lime juice from 2 to 3 medium limes
1/4	cup lemon juice from 2 to 3 medium lemons
1/4	cup superfine sugar
pinch table salt
2	cups crushed ice
1	cup 100 percent agave tequila , preferably Reposado
1	cup Grand Mariner (I never skimp and use triple sec… yuck.)

Instructions

1. (If using a tub of fresh pineapple, skip to #3) If using a real pineapple,

2. 1. Peel and core pineapple; cut pineapple into rough 2-inch chunks,

3. Puree ½ of the pineapple chunks in work bowl of food processor fitted with steel blade until smooth and foamy, about 1 minute. Combine 1/2 cup pureed pineapple with lemon and lime juices and sugar.

4. Strain juice mixture into 1-quart pitcher or cocktail shaker. Add tequila, Triple Sec, and 1 cup of the crushed ice; stir or shake until thoroughly combined and chilled, 20 to 60 seconds.

5. Divide 1 cup crushed ice between 4 or 6 margarita or double old-fashioned glasses. Strain into ice-filled glasses; serve immediately, raise glasses,clink and say “CHEERS”!

Use the remaining pineapple chunks for the second round! Or double the recipe for larger groups. I learned that straining is key, I made the first round WITHOUT straining the pineapple mixture and found it to be too thick

Enjoy, and as always... CHEERS!
