Ingredients
1/3 cup kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground chipotle
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks, chilled, plus additional for serving
3/4 cup lime juice (from 5 to 6 limes), plus lime wedges for serving
8 ounces gold tequila
3 ounces triple sec
3 to 4 sprigs cilantro
1 to 2 tablespoons light agave nectar
Directions
- Combine the salt and 1 teaspoon of the ground chipotle in a small shallow dish. Dip the rims of four margarita glasses in water, then coat in the chipotle salt. Set aside.
