Pineapple and reposado taste very well together, next time I will try fresh pineapple juice. Sorrily my cardamom pods were not fresh enough, I should have followed Sally's suggestion. For me some drops of saline solution should be good.

Very fruity and refreshing. Found it a bit sweet, but can adjust that the next time. Wonderful flavours with the cardamon adding a subtle background flavour. Perfect for anytime.

I find the cardamom gets a little swamped by the tequila and agave, so either up the quantity or (slightly nicer) let them steep in the tequila after muddling for 15-30 minutes

Really nice. My favourite within the combination of pineapple + cardamom so far, with the agave syrup adding some nice round flavours and orange bitters amping the citrus notes, with it also making it closer to a true Margarita.
