I tried with Maracuja juice instead pinapple. Less sweet, good taste but with pinapple is better.

Maybe a little too sweet for my cold cold heart but I can see me and this drink on a beach in a not so distant future! Added a tiny weenie pinch of salt by the way.

我添加了7.5ml的糖浆，风味好很多。我用的凤梨汁已经是比较甜的了，这款酒还是甜一点好喝

Not necessarily as sweet as you might expect with the pineapple juice. It has the usual "tang" of a margarita, softened by the pineapple juice. Great option for a "long" margarita-style drink.

My pineapple was very sweet, so it worked perfectly as written. Very good and refreshing. Would work well on a lazy, warm afternoon or a summer evening.
