piña margarita

Don’t “tequila” my vibe! This piña margarita will definitely give you some vibes…it’s the perfect combination of a piña colada with the sweetness of coconut and pineapple paired with a salty and tart margarita!

I usually make two shakers of this drink which results in 4 cocktails, my husband and I both get a glass and a nice chilled refill awaits you when you are done enjoying your first drink. I first had this piña margarita at a restaurant and my husband had ordered another drink of his own…he immediately was jealous after taking a sip out of my glass so I knew I had to try to recreate it at home. The results were an immediate success, and I can’t tell you how quickly we went through a bottle of Malibu rum lol.

The fun thing about this drink is that you could really make a ton of different varieties by replacing an ingredient or two and making it your own. You could replace the Malibu rum with a banana liquor, or replace the pineapple juice with mango juice…hmm, where is my notebook to write these ideas down?!

Take life with a grain of salt and a slice of lime!
