Notes

Recipe Notes

 

  • Adjust sweetness to taste: Pineapple juice can vary in sweetness, so start with a little less agave and add more as needed.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice makes a big difference in flavor and gives this virgin margarita its signature bright, citrusy balance.
  • Make it ahead: You can mix everything (without ice) and refrigerate for a few hours before serving—perfect for entertaining.
  • Serving tip: Always pour over fresh ice to keep the drink crisp and not diluted.
  • Salted rim option: Run a lime wedge around the glass and dip in salt or tajín for a traditional margarita-style finish.
  • Flavor variation idea: Add a few slices of fresh jalapeño for a subtle spicy kick or a splash of coconut water for a softer tropical twist.

Glow Note: Nutrition is estimated based on standard ingredients and does not include zero-proof tequila, which varies by brand.
