Cool down this summer with a frozen strawberry pineapple margarita. Add super lush, juicy strawberries and mega-sweet pineapple, all aswirl in a tumult of slushy ice and tequila. Sounds like a bonafide good time to my ears. Cheers!
Strawberry + Pineapple Margarita
No matter what your summer is doing or not doing, what it SHOULD be doing is cozying up to this delicious crazy fruit flavored margarita and putting lips to the rim. Yes, cocktails are an intimate affair, and shouldn’t be taken too lightly. So take your downtime seriously and tuck into this one with friends, family or whomever.
This is one surprisingly exciting margarita with its fruity and tropical feel-good taste. And although the strawberry and pineapple are an excellent addition, it is the coconut cream which raises a curious eyebrow. And with good reason, because not too often does one get to play with this sweet exotic ingredient and its creamy texture swims very well with the quality tequila and the other fresh cast members.
And like most classic cocktail recipes the rules are meant to be bent; convention must be tossed a curveball at times, right? Because what’s fun and truly dynamic about approaching most recipes is opening up to whimsy and experimentation and letting your imagination flourish. This reimagination of a margarita is a perfect example of a yummy variation on the classic margarita theme. It is a delicious dare to try something new and different, and the results here are 100% drinkable magic. What is your favorite margarita flavor, and do you love experimenting when it comes to making them?
