Margarita is a beloved and well-known cocktail with countless of riffs and variations. I have tasted many of them and yet I still find recipes that manage to surprise me on the regular basis. Pineapple Margarita is one of those lovely surprises, that take this classic cocktail recipe and give it a unique fruity topical twist.
As in true Margarita, base of the cocktail is blanco tequila with its signature vegetal, earthy agave notes. It is then traditionally combined with Triple Sec bringing notes of sweet orange and tropical tartness of lime juice finishing the classic margarita build. Uniqueness of this cocktail comes from pineapple gum syrup, giving this riff an almost tiki like quality with delicate fruitiness and smooth mouthfeel of gum Arabic enriched viscous syrup.
All in all, Pineapple Margarita is a delicious and simple riff on a classic cocktail giving it a new life by changing only one ingredient.
