Review

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

Variations/similar cocktails

Add half a shot of pineapple syrup, blend with a scoop of crushed ice and serve frozen.

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).

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

A rye whiskey and maple syrup sour served short and straight-up. You'd perhaps have expected this cocktail to be more drawn out.
