The full 2 oz of tequila was enjoyable as a strong drink! It was a breeze to make. I added a splash of agave as it need a little something extra. It did help brighten the flavor. Next time making this drink I’ll substitute gold tequila for silver. I believe it would be a better pairing. Also, a bit of yellow sanding sugar added to the salt rim would be fun and yummy!
Unfortunately as I went to make this I realized we were out of the tequila the recipe called for so I substituted mezcal in. I love the smoky flavor with the sweet pineapple! This was a happy accident for my house and we will be making these on a regular basis. It was a very balanced cocktail and so fun with a side of chips and salsa.
This is a pretty yummy margarita! Perfectly refreshing for a hot day. I love that you don’t have to but anything special, just ingredients that you probably have on hand and will use again. I will definitely be adding this to my cocktail rotation!
