What Is In A Pineapples And Cream Margarita?
TEQUILA
When choosing a tequila for any kind of cocktail, especially a Pineapple Margarita recipe, you want to make sure you get the smoothest kind of tequila you can. You don’t want the harsh bite that tequila can have, so as long as you stick to a good quality brand name then your cocktail will come out great!
ORANGE LIQUEUR
My favorite kind of orange liqueur to use in almost any cocktail, but especially this Pineapples and Cream Margarita, is Cointreau. It is the smoothest, the best quality and tastes fantastic. However, if you don’t want to spend the thirty something dollars for a bottle of this, then you can always go with the more generic brand, Triple Sec, and it will still come out great!
LIME JUICE
I have said it a million times before and I will continue to say it a million times over. Fresh lime juice is the only way to go! Don’t go buying the bottled store brand of lime juice. When I say yuck I mean YUCK! Your drinks will never taste the way they should with that stuff! Always and I mean ALWAYS stick to freshly squeezed lime juice!
PINEAPPLE JUICE
By all means if you are feeling it, go ahead and make your own pineapple juice! However, if you get lazy like me sometimes lol, then using canned Pineapple Juice is perfectly fine! I like the Dole brand personally!
COCONUT MILK OR CREAM
Either one is perfectly fine to use in this cocktail. It all just depends on the consistency you like. Milk will be smoother and cream will be slightly thicker!
AGAVE
Agave is a natural sweetener used in many cocktails, mocktails and desserts. Commonly used in a regular Pineapple Margarita this ingredient will just help sweeten up the cocktail without giving it that overly sugary taste!
Always Make Sure To Get A Great Cocktail Shaker
It’s all in the shake! When mixing up cocktails you want to make sure you have a great shaker! This will ensure that your drinks come out as perfect as they can! A great cocktail shaker will chill the drink the best and will mix things up the best way possible! I have linked some of my favorite shakers here for you all! COCKTAIL SHAKERS
Pineapple Margarita vs. Pineapples And Cream Margarita
This will all come down to preference! A regular Pineapple Margarita is very delicious as is! A Pineapples and Cream Margarita is going to give you that refreshing coconut flavor with a little creaminess to spruce things up a bit! If you aren’t a coconut fan, or you don’t particularly like a creamy cocktail, then just leave out the coconut milk and you still have yourself a wonderful margarita to enjoy!
