Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger (or measuring cup)
  • Muddler (or the back of a spoon)
  • Strainer (optional)
  • Glasses (2, preferably rocks or cocktail glasses)
  • Ice

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz tequila preferably blanco or silver
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice about 1 lime
  • 1 oz fresh pineapple juice about 1/2 pineapple
  • 1 oz agave syrup adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary plus extra for garnish
  • Ice cubes
  • Salt for rimming the glass, optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Combine Ingredients:
  • Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice, and agave syrup to the shaker with the muddled rosemary.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Garnish:
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and a pineapple wedge or slice on the rim of the glass.
  • 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.
