Method

1. Prepare the Glass:
   • If you like a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the edge of your glass and dip it in salt. Set the glass aside.
2. Muddle the Rosemary:
   • In a cocktail shaker, place 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Use a muddler (or the back of a spoon) to gently crush the rosemary. This releases the essential oils and infuses the drink with flavor.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   • Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice, and agave syrup to the shaker with the muddled rosemary.
4. Shake It Up:
   • Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
5. Strain and Serve:
   • If desired, use a strainer to pour the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with ice. Alternatively, you can pour it directly over ice without straining.
6. Garnish:
   • Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and a pineapple wedge or slice on the rim of the glass.
7. Enjoy!
   • Sip and savor your refreshing Pineapple Rosemary Margarita!

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add a few slices of jalapeño to the muddling step for a spicy version.
• Herbal Twist: Substitute rosemary with thyme or basil for a different herbal flavor.
• Mocktail Version: Replace tequila with soda water or sparkling water for a refreshing non-alcoholic drink.

Tips and Substitutions

• Sweetener Alternatives: Use honey or maple syrup instead of agave syrup for a different sweetness profile.
• Pineapple Juice: Fresh juice is best, but store-bought works in a pinch. Just check for added sugars if you’re watching your intake.
• Tequila: If you’re not a fan of tequila, try using vodka for a different flavor.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Too Sweet: If the cocktail is too sweet for your taste, add more lime juice to balance it out.
• Not Strong Enough: For a stronger drink, increase the tequila by half an ounce.
• Herb Flavor Too Strong: If the rosemary flavor is overwhelming, reduce the amount of rosemary used in the muddling process.
