Mocktail Recipe: Spicy Pineapple Margarita
Drink recipe from The Mocktail Club
Description
A zero-proof version of a spicy pineapple margarita. This version uses jalapeño slices for the heat, balanced by the lime juice, orange simple syrup, and the pineapple juice. Consider skipping the muddling if you want it less spicy, or add more jalapeño slices to the muddling step for a spicier beverage.
