Review:

As advertised, a Margarita with pineapple fruitiness. If you have it, a splash of pineapple syrup helps balance while amplifying the pineapple flavour.

I'm wondering why most margarita recipes call for reposado tequila but this one specifies blanco.

I am partial to blanco myself for most tequila cocktails, but would this one be terrible with repo?

Some cocktails benefit from the rounder, delicate vanilla note of a reposado. However, the choice between blanco and reposado tequilas is a matter of personal taste, and most cocktails, including this one, will work with either.

Pleasant pineapple cocktail. Did add a few drops of Margarita bitters to give it a few more flavours and cut the sweetness of the pineapple juice (it's pineapple season in Southern California and they are very ripe and sweet).
