Pineapple Margaritas for Cinco de Mayo

I came up with this recipe for pineapple margaritas when I was making my pineapple-jicama salsa last week. I was already thinking that margaritas would be a good thing to serve with the grilled salmon and salsa dish and, when I ended up with a lot of extra pineapple juice, things just fell into place. These margaritas are a bit sweeter than the average plain margarita, but they still have the tang of lime and a bit of kick from the tequila. I would normally salt the rim of my classes, but sugaring the rim of the glass works better for this drink, and it's easier to do than it looks. Just moisten the rim of your glass, either with water or a bit of pineapple juice, and dip it into some sugar that is spread evenly on a small plate. Garnish with a slice of pineapple and you're ready for happy hour!

Pineapple Margaritas
2/3 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup margarita mix
1/3 cup tequila
1/6 cup triple sec
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Shake with ice and serve in ice filled, sugar-rimmed glasses.

Makes 2 drinks.
