The Bloody Caesar (also known as the Caesar Drink) is a variation of the Classic Bloody Mary that uses Clamato juice in place of tomato juice. Popular in Canada, this drink is made with Clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and prepared horseradish. Half the fun is garnishing your drink, so go wild. More brunch cocktails: Bloody Maria, Mimosa, Screwdriver, Tequila Sunrise, Paloma, Harvey Wallbanger, Watermelon Margarita, Breakfast Shot. Bloody Caesar Ingredients Vodka – Choose a quality, unflavored vodka. Clamato Juice – The big distinction in this recipe is using Clamato juice instead of tomato juice. Worcestershire sauce – A savory sauce often used in grilling and in Bloody Mary recipes. Hot Sauce – Such as Tabasco sauce, Cholula or Tapatio. Horseradish – Choose prepared horseradish, not horseradish sauce. Garnishes – Bloody Caesars are all about the garnish. You can mix and match ideas. A few of our favorites include a fresh celery stalk, tomatoes, pickle spears, green olives, lime wedge, jalapeño slices, asparagus, cocktail onions or fresh rosemary or cilantro. You can also include items like cheese, salami or shrimp. The more, the merrier! The best glassware to serve a Bloody Maria in is any type of tall drinking glass such as a collins glass or a pint glass. I used these wooden garnish picks to create a fun tomato garnish. Instructions In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine vodka, Clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and horseradish. Shake for 10-15 seconds until well chilled. Strain and pour into a cocktail glass with fresh ice. Garnish with celery, olives, bacon, or whatever your heart desires! Tips for Making Variations – Similar to the Bloody Mary, you can swap spirits interchangeably. Try a Tequila Caesar, a Gin Caesar or Bourbon Caesar. Orange Juice – Some recipes swear by adding a splash of orange juice to your recipe. I haven’t tried this yet, but it sounds interesting for a bit of sweet and savory flavor. Salted Rim – Add a salted rim if you want a little extra. Try our Margarita Salt recipe next time you want to do salt-rimmed glasses. Optional Ingredients – If you want to add a little zing to your cocktail, add a squeeze of lime juice. If you want to enhance the savory flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder, celery salt or black pepper to your cocktail shaker. Clam Juice – Many variations of this recipe dating back to the 1950s call for clam juice. We’ve also heard of recipes including pickle juice—I’d love to try that!

You’ll love this easy Fajita Seasoning recipe. Use it to make chicken, steak, shrimp or vegetable fajitas. You’ll never need to buy pre-made seasoning again. This Fajita Seasoning has a mild spicy and sweet flavor that can be adjusted to your personal taste. We’re so excited to share our recipe for homemade fajita seasoning with you. Related: Taco Seasoning, Italian Seasoning, Chili Seasoning, Cajun Seasoning. Fajita Seasoning Ingredients Chili Powder Salt Ground Paprika Sugar Onion Powder Garlic Powder Ground Cumin Cornstarch When choosing a container for my homemade spice mixture, I chose these 4 ounce jars with bamboo lids. If you use the same containers,d you can double this recipe to get an almost full jar like you see in my photos. Fajita Seasoning Recipe Prepare your ingredients. Measure each spice into a mixing bowl. Stir gently to blend, or seal to container and shake. Store in an airtight container. Tips for Making You can customize this recipe to your diet by using less (or no) salt for a low-sodium diet, removing ingredients you are allergic to or dislike and controlling the spice levels. The cornstarch in this recipe helps the spice mixture to coat the protein or vegetables fully. It’s not essential if you want to skip it, but we found it to be helpful. To use this seasoning, place it in a shallow bowl and toss your protein and vegetables in it before cooking. When making fajitas we love to add lime juice, homemade guacamole, sour cream and homemade queso. Why homemade seasoning is best Best ingredients – Homemade seasoning is great because you can be sure what is in it (and what is not in it). If you avoid sugar, dairy or gluten, making your own seasonings can give you peace of mind. You can also choose to use all organic spices if you wish. Unlimited supply – If you make fajitas as often as we do, it’s annoying to rely on store-bought seasoning packets. This way, I always have what I need and if I run out I can always make more. Tastes amazing – I swear by the flavors in this recipe. It tastes so good and my whole family loves it. You can tweak the spice level – If you make this recipe as written, I consider it “mild.” It’s full of flavor and has some heat, but it isn’t too spicy (my children always let me know if they think something is too spicy). If I am making a dish only for myself, I will use this seasoning and add more red chili flakes and more chili powder to bring up the spice a bit. Shelf Life A batch of homemade seasoning can last in your pantry for one to two years. For peak freshness, use within six months. This is likely obvious, but using fresher spices will result in a longer shelf life. So if this is a concern to you, don’t use spices that have been sitting in your drawer for years. How much seasoning is in one packet? If you are using a recipe that calls for “one packet” of store-bought fajita seasoning, you are probably curious how much homemade mix is equal to “one packet.” This recipe is equivalent to one packet of seasoning. More Tex Mex Recipes: Guacamole Pico De Gallo Taco Soup 7 Layer Dip Creamy Black Bean Dip Margarita Michelada Cantarito Mexican Candy Shot What ingredients are in Fajita Seasoning? Fajita Seasoning is made with chili powder, salt, ground paprika, sugar, onion, garlic, cumin, cayenne and corn starch. What is the difference between Taco Seasoning and Fajita Seasoning? Taco Seasoning has more chili powder and oregano, Fajita Seasoning has more cornstarch and sugar. Why is there cornstarch in Fajita seasoning? Cornstarch is a thickener. In this case, it helps coat all the vegetables and protein before cooking.

The Greyhound Cocktail is a refreshingly tart, easy to sip brunch cocktail. This two-part classic cocktail is as easy as they come. By simply combining vodka or gin and grapefruit juice you can mix up this classic drink at home. I’m a huge fan of simple cocktails to serve guests for brunch or a day at the pool. Related: Salty Dog, Paloma Cocktail, Harvey Wallbanger, Screwdriver, Brunch Drinks. Ingredients in a Greyhound Vodka or Gin – Choose a mid-priced, high quality vodka or gin. Grapefruit Juice – Fresh grapefruit juice is best. Either way, choose an option without pulp. You can use white, ruby red or pink grapefruit juice. Lime – Use a lime wheel as garnish. The best glassware choice for this grapefruit cocktail is a collins glass, or any tall glass. Ingredients You can use a cocktail shaker if you wish, but it’s not necessary for this recipe. Begin by pouring vodka or gin in your glass with ice cubes. Next, top with grapefruit juice until almost full. Give it a gentle stir to combine ingredients. Garnish with a lime wheel or lime wedge. How did the Greyhound Cocktail get its name? Originally, this drink was a Prohibition-era cocktail and typically served with gin. The first known published recipe was in bartender Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book. His original recipe used grapefruit jelly and gin. After World War II, vodka grew rapidly in popularity. In 1945, this vodka recipe was featured in Harper’s Magazine. By the 1950s, it was a popular choice available at at the Post House restaurants found at Greyhound bus terminals. The drink’s popularity continued to increase. Sipping a Greyhound Cocktail on a Greyhound bus in 1950s America—it sounds pretty iconic. Like an episode of Mad Men. Tips for Making By adding a salted rim, this recipe becomes the Salty Dog. Too tart? To add sweetness, add a little simple syrup or honey syrup to taste. If you prefer tequila with your grapefruit juice, try making a fresh Paloma Cocktail. For a lighter version, fill the glass to 3/4 with juice and top with club soda.

The Hemingway Daiquiri was created, on request, for literary legend Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) at Havana’s El Floridita bar. This bar was near where Hemingway lived for most of the 1930s. He asked for a drink without sugar and double the rum. This drink is also called the Papa Doble and the Hemingway Special. While it technically doesn’t call for sugar, the maraschino liqueur sweetens the drink considerably. Made with white rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice and grapefruit juice, this lightly sweet and balanced drink is one to try for your home bar. Related: Classic Daiquiri, The Last Word, The Aviation, The Paper Plane, El Presidente. Ingredients in a Hemingway Daiquiri White Rum – The recipe calls for white rum and you can Maraschcino Liqueur – This adds sweetness and balance to the drink. Lime Juice – It wouldn’t be a daiquiri without fresh lime juice. Grapefruit Juice – Fresh grapefruit juice adds flavor and complexity to this recipe. The best glassware choice for a Hemingway Daiquiri is a coupe glass. How to Make In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine white rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice and grapefruit juice. Shake for 10-15 seconds until the drink is well chilled. Strain and pour into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wheel. Tips for Making Sugar – If you want to add sweetness, add some simple syrup. Begin with half an ounce and sweeten to taste. Citrus Variations – Try this recipe with key limes or lemons for a subtle twist. Chilled Cocktail Glass – Pop your coupe glass into the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving for an extra luxe presentation. Garnish Ideas – Try a grapefruit peel or a luxardo cherry as a garnish idea. History The Hemingway Daiquiri was created, on request, by Ernest Hemingway at Havana’s El Floridita bar. This bar was near where Hemingway lived for most of the 1930s. The story goes that he stopped in to use the restroom and when he emerged, he noticed a man making daiquiris. Hemingway, who famously loved to day drink, asked for a drink without sugar and double the rum. The result was quite bitter and came to be named after Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway famously said, “I drink to make other people more interesting,” and, “Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.” Hemingway claims the record for drinking the most double daiquiris in a day—16! We have to say, this may have been considered a cute story in the 1930s, but we don’t recommend over-consuming alcohol.

Today, I’m sharing my healthy strawberry banana smoothie recipe. This smoothie has protein, nutrients and is creamy and sweet. This recipe makes a great quick breakfast or snack. Related: Acai Bowl, Blueberry Smoothie, Dragon Fruit Smoothie, Coffee Smoothie, Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie, More Smoothie Ideas. Ingredients Strawberries – Frozen or fresh strawberries work great. Banana – Frozen and sliced or just frozen work great. Milk – I used Fairlife milk. Use any type of milk you like such as nondairy milk, coconut milk or soy milk. Yogurt – I love using Greek yogurt in my smoothies. Honey – Honey or agave syrup is optional to add a little sweetness. You can also use a little maple syrup if you prefer. Instructions In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, banana, milk, yogurt and honey. Blend until fully smooth. Serve with an optional garnish of Strawberry Shortcake Crunch or a fresh strawberry. Tips for Making Natural Sweetness – We love a natural sweetener. My favorite ways to add sweetness to a smoothie are honey, agave, maple syrup or a pitted date. Healthy Boosts – Add a spoonful of collagen powder, some ground flax seeds, a scoop of sea moss gel, liquid hyaluronic acid or chia seeds to add some fiber. You may also add a scoop of protein powder if you like. Vegan – If you want to make this into a vegan recipe, choose a dairy-free milk (such as oat milk, almond milk or cashew milk), use a vegan yogurt (such as coconut yogurt) and replace honey with agave syrup. Other Fruits – Add a scoop of frozen raspberries, frozen blueberries or frozen mango to create a different flavor. Creamy Texture – Make sure your blender blade is sharp. I use my blender almost daily so every few years I need to purchase a new blender pitcher with a fresh blade. Frequently Asked Questions What does a strawberry smoothie contain? Our strawberry smoothie recipe is made with strawberries, banana, milk, yogurt and honey. Is a strawberry smoothie healthy? Yes. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C. Bananas are rich in potassium. This recipe has no added sugar and can be easily modified for any dietary preferences. Do you put ice in a smoothie? While there is nothing wrong with throwing a few ice cubes into your smoothie before blending, ice is not necessary. When you use frozen fruit (even just frozen banana) there is no longer any need for ice.

Once you learn to make homemade Italian Seasoning, you never go back! I use mine constantly to season pastas, pasta sauces, soups, proteins, potatoes, lasagne and make pizzas. The best part is this seasoning recipe is made with ingredients you probably already have in your spice drawer. Related: Fajita Seasoning, Chili Seasoning, Taco Seasoning, Cajun Seasoning. Italian Seasoning Blend Ingredients Dried Basil Dried Thyme Dried Rosemary Dried Marjoram Dried Parsley Dried Oregano Garlic Powder Red Pepper Flakes How to Make Prepare your ingredients. Measure each spice into a small bowl. Stir gently to blend, or seal the container and shake. Store in an airtight container. Optional step: If your rosemary (or other spices) are not fine enough for your taste, you may use a mortar and pestle to grind the spice mixture to a more fine texture before storing. Tips for Making Use this seasoning to make your own Italian bread dipping oil. Simply mix together half a cup olive oil, 1-2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of our Italian Seasoning. Serve in a shallow dish for bread dipping. You can customize this recipe to your diet by removing ingredients you are allergic to or dislike and control the spice level. This recipe can be tweaked with what you have on hand or to your personal taste. Feel free to adjust the ratios to suit your preference. You can also use dried minced garlic instead of powder if you want a little more texture. I make my own sugar-free spaghetti sauce often by combing a cup of tomato sauce with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. How much seasoning is in one packet? If you are using a recipe that calls for “one packet” of store-bought seasoning, you are probably curious how much homemade mix is equal to “one packet.” One packet is typically equivalent to one ounce, or three tablespoons of seasoning. Shelf life A batch of homemade seasoning can last in your pantry for one to two years. For peak freshness, use within six months. This is likely obvious, but using fresher spices will result in a longer shelf life. So if this is a concern to you, don’t use spices that have been sitting in your drawer for years. More Spice Blends Taco Seasoning Fajita Seasoning Chili Seasoning Cajun Seasoning Why homemade seasoning is best Best ingredients – Homemade seasoning is great because you can be sure what is in it (and what is not in it). If you avoid sugar, salt, dairy or gluten, making your own seasonings can give you peace of mind. You can also choose to use all organic spices if you wish. Unlimited supply – If you make Italian food as often as we do, it’s annoying to rely on store-bought seasoning packets. This way, I always have what I need and if I run out I can always make more. Tastes amazing – I swear by the flavors in this recipe. It tastes so good and my whole family loves it. You can tweak the spice level – This recipe isn’t spicy, but if you are extremely sensitive and don’t want any spice at all, you can omit the red pepper flakes. You can also add more if you prefer more of a kick. Prep time – The total prep time for making a homemade Italian seasoning mix is less than five minutes. It’s as simple as mixing herbs and spices together and storing them in a jar. Frequently Asked Questions What is in Italian Seasoning? Italian Seasoning is made with basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes and garlic powder. Do Italian people use oregano in cooking? Oregano is more common in American Italian dishes than authentic Italian dishes. The most popular spices to use in Italian cooking are parsley and basil.

Tie-dye is a fun and easy craft project that anyone can do! The rainbow swirls of color are actually simple to achieve and kids and adults love to tie-dye to get those fun summer camp vibes. You can customize your look to use a rainbow of hues (or just your favorite colors) and there are several easy techniques that give you different cool tie-dye looks to choose from. Just follow this step-by-step beginner’s guide to get your own tie-dye creation at home! Love tie dye?

Table of Contents Tie-Dye Basics Tie-Dye Supplies Do I have to use a pre-made dye kit for my tie-dye colors? Tie-Dye Garment Preparation How to Tie-Dye Tie-Dye Patterns Spiral Tie-Dye Bullseye Tie-Dye Stripes Tie-Dye Scrunch Tie-Dye Tie-Dye Basics The history of tie-dye dates back thousands of years, with evidence of similar techniques found in various cultures around the world. However, the modern form of tie-dye that is most commonly associated with colorful patterns and designs on clothing emerged in the 1960s during the counterculture movement in the United States. The basic idea is you cover areas of fabric by tying them off with rubber bands. Then, you dye the rest of the fabric, possibly in multiple colors. The tied-off areas do not get color, since they are not exposed to the dye color. Tie-dye, like many projects, is about experimenting and enjoying the process while also at times being surprised by the results. If you want a perfectly curated look, tie-dye is likely not the best option, as it’s meant to look messy, colorful, and fun! Looking for more nostalgic crafts? Check out How to Make Friendship Bracelets! Tie-Dye Supplies Dye: There are so many dye colors you can choose from and you can mix and match to make your own custom colors. To make it easy, buy a tie-dye kit like this Tulip kit that has your dye all ready to go in prefilled bottles. Just add water and shake! Rubber bands: You can either use rubber bands you have around the house or buy a kit that has them included. Gloves & drop cloth: These items protect your hands and working surface from the dye so make sure to use them. You can use dish gloves or plastic gloves and any sort of waterproof or plastic sheet will do. A tie-dye kit will include these as well. Garments or items to dye: White cotton is best for tie-dye application although you can also dye other natural fabrics like rayon, silk, linen, or hemp. Drip pan (optional): A plastic sheet is helpful for protecting your work surface, but it’s also very handy to also use a drip pan under the item being dyed (something like a dish pan or plant saucer will do). TIP: Aside from shirts, you can tie-dye so many different garments like sweatshirts, t-shirts, socks, bandanas, overalls, and more! Do I have to use a pre-made dye kit for my tie-dye colors? While the all-in-one kits like these Tulip dye kits are super helpful to get everything you need in one place, you can also mix your own colors for your tie-dye creation from dye concentrate added to water in your own squirt bottles. Start with one tablespoon of liquid dye added to one cup warm water in a bottle and shake. Test on a scrap piece of clothing to see if you want to add more dye for brighter color or more water for a more subtle color. Tie-Dye Garment Preparation Begin by washing the garments you plan to dye. If they are things you already own and have washed before, you can skip this step. But anything new should be washed to remove any residue from the making of the garment. Tie-Dye Tip: For the best color adhesion, soak your items in soda ash mixed into water for 20 minutes before tie-dying. While this step is optional, it will help make the colors on your tie-dye creation the brightest they can be. How to Tie-Dye Prep your workspace: Put down your protective cloth over your work surface and get your dye bottles ready with your chosen colors (these kits simply add water to the bottles and shake). Dampen shirt: A slightly wet shirt will spread out the dye better than a totally dry shirt, so fully wet your item and then wring it out fully so it’s just damp. Band and Dye shirt: Fold or swirl your shirt based on the design you want (check out our pattern options below!), add your rubber bands to keep in place, and add your dye. Flip the shirt over and repeat on the other side trying to keep the same colors in similar spots. REMEMBER! The more that several colors overlap, the bigger chance you have of getting muddied or brown colors in your tie-dye creation! Try to keep colors that don’t make a pretty color together further apart but have fun bleeding colors that sit next to each other on the color chart. (So two colors that sit next to each other on the rainbow, like blue and purple, will be pretty if they bleed together, but two colors that don’t, like green and orange, will make a brown). Seal for 24 hours: While you can unveil your creation after about 6 hours, the best colors will come if you place it in a ziplock bag (to keep the dye from drying out) and leave it there for 24 hours. Rinse and wash shirt: Remove your shirt from the bag, take off the bands, and rinse in a sink or tub with cold water until the water runs clear (you’ll want gloves for this step as well). Wash in cold water with a small amount of detergent in the washing machine, and add an extra rinse cycle if that’s an option on your washer (wash apart from other laundry for the first wash). Dry and wear proudly! Tie-Dye Patterns While there are so many options when it comes to tie-dye patterns, here are 4 classic methods to achieve different cool tie-dye looks for your personal creation. Spiral Tie-Dye This classic tie-dye shape is beautiful and easy to achieve! Twist: Start with your shirt flat on the work surface. Pinch a small section in the center of your garment or stick a wooden dowel or cooking utensil end into the middle of the shirt. Twist the fabric around this point and keep twisting until the whole garment becomes a round disc. It should look like a cinnamon roll! Secure: Secure the shirt with at least four or five rubber bands, crisscrossing them over the center of the disc. The tighter you bind the shirt, the more white there will be. Dye and finish! When you dye, add color to different wedge sections on the disc (you can also do a different color in each section created by the rubber bands). Repeat the color on back, add to your plastic bag, wait, rinse and wash to unveil your creation! Bullseye Tie-Dye The Bullseye pattern is a great option for beginners. Pinch: Pinch a section of fabric in the middle of the garment. Pull the fabric up the whole way off the floor, creating a fabric cone. Secure: Wrap rubber bands around the cone of fabric, adding a band at each spot where you want to change colors. You can add as many or as few rubber bands as you want. Dye and finish! When you go to dye, add a different color to each section between the rubber bands. Repeat the color on back, add to your plastic bag, wait, rinse and wash to unveil your creation! Stripes Tie-Dye The Stripe pattern is a fun and easy way to get a cool graphic look. Fold: Lay the garment flat. Starting from the left or bottom side, fold the shirt in a series of small accordion-style folds. If you start folding from the left side you’ll create vertical lines, and if you start from the bottom you’ll create horizontal lines. Secure: Zig zag the accordion folded shirt into a “Z” shape with the folds facing up. Wrap the folded shirt with rubber bands to secure. Dye and finish! When you go to dye, add color to each section (between rubber bands). Repeat the color on back, add to your plastic bag, wait, rinse and wash to unveil your creation! Scrunch Tie-Dye This Scrunch tie-dye pattern gives you an organic marbled look that is another classically cool tie-dye look. Scrunch: Lay your garment flat. Pinch a series of small sections and pull them up a bit to create small mountain shapes. Secure: Continue until the whole shirt is scrunched into mini mountains and secure the whole shirt with overlapping rubber bands. Dye and finish! When you go to dye, add color to different areas and try your best to replicate the color placement on the back of the banded shirt as well. Add dyed shirt to your plastic bag, wait, rinse and wash to unveil your creation! Frequently Asked Questions Should fabric be wet when you tie-dye? It doesn’t have to be, but the dye will spread and take more easily if slightly damp (it’s also a better method to achieve more pastel colors). Dry fabric will usually result in an overall brighter color and you may also end up with more pure white areas since they dye doesn’t spread as far. How long should tie-dye soak before rinsing? For classic tie-dye, 4-6 hours is a good minimum, but you can allow the dye to set for closer to 24 hours for more intense colors. What is the best fabric to tie-dye? White or light colored 100% cotton is the most popular choice for beginner tie-dye application although you can also dye other natural fabrics like rayon, silk, linen, or hemp. Polyester and cotton blend shirts won’t hold the color nearly as well, so find an option that doesn’t include polyester.

Cover your area with a drop cloth to protect it from any dye spills and wear disposable gloves as you work to protect your hands. Scrunch up or fold your item as desired for your pattern and then add rubber bands to secure. Add dye to the prepared fabric in your chosen color pattern until the top is saturated. Turn over and repeat on the other side. Add your dyed fabric to a sealed off plastic bag (or twist a plastic grocery bag closed) and let it sit for 6-24 hours. The longer the better for color saturation. Remove from bag and rinse your garment in the bathtub or kitchen sink until the water runs clear (wear gloves again for this step). Wash the tie-dye item (or items) in the washing machine on cold separately from other laundry and dry or as you normally would. Notes TIPS: If the garments you are dyeing are things you already own and have washed before, you can skip washing them. A plastic sheet is helpful for protecting your work surface, but it’s also very handy to also use a drip pan under the item being dyed (something like a dish pan or plant saucer will do). You can also add an extra rinse cycle to your washer when washing the clothes for the first time if you machine has that setting to make sure any extra dye is rinsed out. *Optional but you can soak in soda ash if you want for 20 minutes for better color adhesion.

Delicious Margarita Recipes: Spicy Margarita, Watermelon Margarita, Blue Margarita, Margarita Mix, Margarita Salt. Ingredients in a Pineapple Margarita Recipe Tequila Blanco – The best tequila for this recipe is a blanco or reposado tequila. We typically reach for a silver tequila when making margaritas. Pineapple Juice – Freshly squeezed or bottled both work well for this recipe. Orange Liqueur – Such as Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Triple Sec. Lime Juice – Freshly squeezed is always best for homemade margaritas. It’s a key ingredient and worth the effort. Salt – Try our homemade margarita salt. The best glassware to serve an on the rocks margarita in is a double old fashioned glass. These glasses are useful for dozens of cocktail recipes. How to make a Pineapple Margarita Begin by preparing your glass with a salted rim (optional). In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine tequila, pineapple juice, orange liqueur and fresh lime juice. Shake for 10-15 seconds until well chilled. Strain and pour into a prepared cocktail glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a wedge of fresh pineapple or lime wedges. Tips for Making Salt Rim Ideas – We used our homemade margarita salt for this recipe. Some other fun ideas are a salt rim mixed with Tajín. Spicy Pineapple Margarita – To add some spice to this recipe, add some sliced jalapeño or serrano peppers to the cocktail shaker before shaking. You can also add a pepper slice to the top as garnish (this is also a good way to keep track if you aren’t making them all spicy). Pitcher Recipe – Increase this recipe for the number of people you are serving (for example, if you want to serve eight margaritas, increase this recipe 8x). Combine all ingredients in a pitcher (without ice) and stir to combine. You can store this in the fridge for several hours before serving. To serve, simply pour into glasses with fresh ice. Blender Recipe – To turn this into a blender recipe, simply blend the ingredients together with ice. Optionally, you can add some frozen pineapple chunks for a consistency closer to a smoothie. To add a tropical twist, throw in some coconut flakes. Add Sweetness – Because of the pineapple juice we didn’t feel agave was necessary for this recipe. However, if you’d like to add a little bit more sweetness, you can add half an ounce of agave to your cocktail shaker.
