Review:

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

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).

If you have the chance to have freshly made pineapple at your disposal this is an excellent use for it.
