Had this again, but with upping the tequila by half. Also added an Anejo Tequila float which brought Cactus Jack up to a whole new level.

i accidentally eliminated the pineapple juice but ended up enjoying it a bit more sour anyway

I like it with lime substituted for lemon juice (so it’s basically a fruity and bizarrely blue marguarita) but also good in the original version

I really liked this . We did add a little more tequila (.25 oz) and I think I would go up to 1 1/2 oz tequila. The extra tequila cut down on some of the sweetness from the orange and pineapple juice. Would do again. We very well with spicy food.
