Mini Margaritas

Spicy Pomelo + Blood Orange and Mint + Pink Pineapple Margaritas

Whether you’re gearing up for National Margarita Day, are in need of a celebratory drink or simply want a new skinny cocktail recipe - these mini margaritas are a winner. I tested three unique margarita flavors: Spicy Pomelo, Blood Orange and Mint, and my personal favorite was a Pink Pineapple Margarita. I’ve never had a pink pineapple before, so had to try this PinkGlow Pineapple by Del Monte. It was very sweet, with hardly any acidity and very pricey!

All three margaritas used the same blend of ingredients — squeezed the citrus, then mixed with lime juice, agave, Casamigos Reposado and lots of ice. For the PinkGlow, I blended some of the core pieces only (felt too guilty blending the other precious chunks into a cocktail) with ice, agave, lime juice and the Reposado. I garnished these libations with mint, citrus wedges and slices of Serrano Pepper. They were so delicious and I have to admit, I might have had one too many!

I recently quit drinking alcohol back in September of 2021, right before my 43rd birthday, but that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying my favorite margaritas mocktail style! This recipe works with any fresh fruit juice, with or without the tequila. Try making your own with the recipe card below and Happy Sipping, friends!
