jalapeno pineapple margaritas

While margaritas are quintessentially Mexican. According to some, their exact origin isn’t definitive. Because of my ties to Tijuana, Baja California & from what my Mexican friends have told me, I’m stating that’s the birthplace of the margarita. Agree or not, for most of us who enjoy a well-made margarita, the whys are wherefores are inconsequential. This jalapeno pineapple margarita recipe has a little spunk to it: using fresh jalapenos & fresh lime juice combined with pineapple juice, silver tequila & triple sec. Served over ice with a play on the salted rim.

As a bonafide made-from-scratch margarita lover, I abhor the blended, diabetes-inducing drinks posing as margaritas that are so oft served in restaurants & bars. But we all have our thing right? I’m certainly not a purist so if that’s your thing – good luck to you & who am I to judge?! I’m not claiming this particular cocktail recipe to be traditional, but it’s very good. I know because I’ve enjoyed it many times over. Here are a couple more cocktails to enjoy: Strawberry Limoncello Margaritas (decisively not traditional, but who cares right?) & Long Island Iced Tea.

pineapple jalapeno margaritas

A margarita is perfect enjoyed any time of the year but is especially good when the weather is warm & the days are long. This mixture can be made a day before serving – just don’t add ice. Remember to salt the rims of the glasses before adding the ice. 
Prep Time10 mins
Total Time10 mins
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4
Author: Lovoni

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pineapple juice plus pineapple for garnish (optional)
  • 2 jalapenos, sliced plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice about 5 to 6 limes
  • 1 cup tequila I used white, agave tequila
  • 1 cup triple sec or another orange liqueur such as Cointreau
  • lots of ice
SALTY SWEET CHILI RIMMER
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • small lime wedges for running around the glass rims

Instructions

  • Combine 1/2 cup of pineapple juice & jalapeno in a glass or straight-sided container. Use a wooden spoon handle or a ‘muddler’ & muddle the pineapple & jalapeno together – pressing down on the jalapeno to extract its juice.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine metal strainer into a large jug; discard the jalapeno. Add the remaining pineapple juice, lime juice, tequila & triple sec; stir to combine.

To make the rimmer:

  • Combine sugar, salt, chili powder & paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle onto a small, flat plate. Take the lime wedge & run it around the rim of each serving glass. Turn each glass upside down in the mixture & turn the glass to coat the rim.
  • Carefully fill glasses with ice. Pour the margarita over the ice. Garnish with a slice of jalapeno & pineapple. Makes about 5 cups.

    We had these drinks, alongside your jalapeno poppers, with cucumber slices, for lunch today. For some, maybe too much spice, but not for us. Delicious. I saved the muddled jalapenos to put on our pizza – win win!

      Fabulous! Glad you enjoyed them. And great idea of repurposing the jalapenos.

And then there was none. My sis & I lost our fathe And then there was none. My sis & I lost our father, my niece her Pa, quite suddenly on August 1st. Almost four months after the death of our mum John decided it was time to join her. The heartache feels unbearable. John was a true gourmand - a fierce cook. He introduced us to spicy Indian curries, Southeast Asian cuisines, the tastes of Morocco, Chinese delicacies, Greek food & so many other cuisines opening up a world filled with flavour to our young palates. 
Keeper of secrets; fiercely loyal to his family & those he held dear & the most trustworthy person you’d ever meet. I know he’s somewhere better, free from pain & he’s with mum. He’s enjoying a beer, an old red wine to wash down the curry. Then a bowl of ice cream - a big bowl because why not. He’ll smile his wide grin & his bright blue eyes will light up. He could be a grumpy bugger at times but we even loved that side of him. Every time I pick up a knife to start another recipe John, you’ll be there with me. Thank you for marrying our mum & choosing us as your daughters. I hope you know how much you were loved & what a huge impact you had on our lives. You’ll be missed more than you could imagine xo.

Broccoli Bacon Salad: easy AF to make & loaded wit Broccoli Bacon Salad: easy AF to make & loaded with all the right flavours & texture combos, regardless of the time of year, you’ll want to make this salad over & over.

I’m not a leftovers fan but this is even good the next day. Head to freshhunger.com for the recipe. L xo

Each day the veggie garden gives forth its bounty. Each day the veggie garden gives forth its bounty. Today was a quick harvest. I need to hurry up & shake this Covid beast so I can throw myself back into some enjoyable cooking again. 
My horrible trip to France was cut short - thank god but left me with Covid. The fucking cherry on top of what was a low point on my radar. I can hardly believe it happened but one dusts off, moves on & let’s those who like to bring others down fall by the wayside. 
Onwards & upwards. Here’s to a busy rest of the month filled with work I’m passionate about. And a garden that’s flourishing. Gorgeous board from @figsandfetaau

Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s fune Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s funeral. Sadly mum passed away on Wednesday & the world suddenly became less joyful, less stylish & definitely less clean & tidy. Gardens are now less pretty & food not as tasty for mum was both a fabulous cook & had the most beautiful garden. Most of you who might take the time to read this never had the honour of meeting my mum but if you had met her, she would be your friend & confidant for life. She played both mum & dad to my sis & I after our father left but we never seemed to want for anything. She was a shining star who always encouraged me to follow my dreams, even when it meant me moving halfway around the world. That just made us closer. She will be missed by those who love her ♥️
Here are some random pics: the first is mum & I in a tiny church in Drummheller, Alberta, Canada. There is one of mum in her bikini drinking a scotch at Palm Beach in Sydney (snarky me on the left in that pic). The last one is mum as a bridesmaid holding my sister. There’s one with my niece when she was little. I love the one where mum has decorated herself in daisy chains. Good memories.
