Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Liquids and Spirits
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz triple sec
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
Other
- Salt for rimming
- Ice
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Rim the edge of your serving glass with salt by moistening the rim with lime juice and dipping it into salt. This adds a complementary savory note to each sip.
- Muddle the fruit: In a shaker, muddle together the fresh pineapple chunks and blueberries until well crushed to release their juices and flavors.
- Add the spirits and mixers: Pour in the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the muddled fruit in the shaker to blend the cocktail’s base.
- Shake with ice: Add plenty of ice to the shaker, then shake vigorously to chill the mixture and fully combine the flavors.
- Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail into the salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice to keep it cold without diluting the flavors immediately.
- Garnish: Add a few pineapple chunks and fresh blueberries on top as a colorful and tasty garnish to finish the drink.
Notes
- Use fresh fruit for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your desired sweetness level.
- Rimming the glass with salt is traditional but can be skipped if preferred.
- For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
- Tequila blanco works best for a clean, crisp taste.
