  • Active: 45 min
This margarita board is fit for any summer soiree. It’s extremely versatile, so feel free to make substitutions according to your preferences or what you have on hand. Pro-tip: I like to save the pineapple top and use it as a centerpiece for the board. It’s festive but easy, and you didn’t have to buy anything additional.

Arrange the lime wedges, chile-lime seasoning, lava salt and vanilla sugar on small flat plates and place on or around the board. Assemble all the desired garnishes, along with an ice bucket and margarita glasses, on the board as well. Remove the margarita pitcher from the fridge and place it next to the board so that guests can serve themselves.
