I was recently invited by Patrón Tequila to create my own margarita for Cinco de Mayo… of course I accepted! I’ve been wanting to make this amazing Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita forever so it was the perfect opportunity.

Yes! A muddled jalapeño slice with pineapple juice, triple sec, lime juice and Patrón Silver is sweet, savory, tart… and well… just absoluely amazing!
I only used one jalapeño slice in each margarita because I didn’t want it to be too hot and it was perfect for my taste. If you like it on the HOT side, then by all means, add more jalapeño slices!
The rim of this margarita is a simple mixture of kosher salt and chili powder… the chili powder adds a little extra spice and it complements all of the flavors of the margarita perfectly.
And I know it’s Monday, but who cares?! It’s Cindo de Mayo WEEK. Might as well celebrate!
