Ingredients
  

For the Margarita

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks Use ripe pineapple for best flavor.
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries Fresh blueberries yield a better taste.
  • 2 oz tequila Use your favorite tequila.
  • 1 oz triple sec Substitute with orange juice for non-alcoholic option.
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice Freshly squeezed lime juice is preferred.
  • ½ oz simple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Salt for rimming Optional, for a salted rim.
  • Ice Use for shaking and serving.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by trimming and chunking a ripe pineapple into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  • Rinse and pat dry the blueberries to remove any dust or bloom.
  • If you like a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass rim and dip into coarse salt.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice to chill it while you measure.

Mixing the Fruit Base

  • Add pineapple chunks and blueberries to a blender or cocktail shaker.
  • If using a blender, pulse until the fruit is smooth but still slightly textured.
  • Measure tequila, triple sec (or orange juice), lime juice, and simple syrup and add to the fruit.
  • If you blended the fruit, pour into a shaker with ice; if you used a shaker, start adding the spirits and syrup.

Shaking and Straining

  • If using a shaker, add ice now and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds.
  • Shake until the shaker feels very cold to the touch.
  • Strain through a fine mesh into a salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice.
  • For a frozen-style margarita, use a high-powered blender with crushed ice until slushy.

Serving

  • Garnish with a wedge of lime, a pineapple spear, or a skewer of blueberries for visual appeal.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh aromatics and chilled texture.

Notes

Use ripe fruit for best flavor. The recipe can be adjusted for sweetness and strength easily by modifying the amount of simple syrup and tequila. Chill your tools to preserve texture and slow dilution.
