This Frozen Pineapple Margarita is an ice-cold, fruity cocktail that gives tropical vibes and delicious flavors . Perfect for sipping by the pool, at a barbecue, or simply in the comfort of your air-conditioned living room, this Frozen Pineapple Margarita captures summer (or vacation!!) in a glass. One of the secrets to this delicious recipe is not using ice (like a frozen margarita) and instead only blending with frozen pineapple. It makes for a creamy and frosty cocktail that doesn’t “melt” on you.
We LOVE a good pineapple margarita here at Mom’s Dinner… and they are not all created equally. We have found that to make a pineapple margarita amazing, you have to shake it!! Here are two related pineapple margaritas to check out:

Ingredients
Just a few simple ingredients are needed to make a killer Frozen Pineapple Margarita!
We are not using ice here. To keep your drink nice and frosty, opt for frozen pineapple pieces. If you have a Trader Joe’s near by, they have great frozen pineapple that is inexpensive.
The tequila should be a mid range sliver or blanco tequila. It isn’t necessary in this cocktail to have a really expensive tequila brand. And save the Reposado and Añejo tequila for a cocktail that highlights their special flavors.

Agave is a great way to sweeten just about any margarita. When you are at the store choose the light agave. It will be lighter in color and have a less pronounced flavor, so that it will just sweeten your cocktail without changing the flavor profile.
Fresh lime juice. period. Do not use the already squeezed, shelf stable lime juice.
Triple sec is an orange flavored liqueur that balances this frozen pineapple margarita perfectly. In most margaritas I call for Cointreau which a more refined (and definitely more expensive) brand of triple sec. In this frozen pineapple cocktial, and most of the frozen margarita recipes, it is totally acceptable to use the less expensive Triple Sec.
