- 4 slices jalapeno chile pepper seeds removed

- 4 ounces blanco tequila
- 3 ounces pineapple juice

Making a salt rim on glasses (optional)
Fill a small shallow plate with kosher salt or tajin.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass.
Place the rim of the glass into the salt and gently twist from side to side to coat.
Place glass upright and allow the rim to dry before adding the margarita.
Making the spicy pineapple margarita
Add the sliced jalapeno and lime slices to a cocktail shaker or quart Mason jar. Muddle until the jalapeno is broken up and the lime has released its juice.
Add the remaining ingredients: tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, orange juice, and agave. Fill halfway with ice.
Seal and shake until thoroughly chilled– at least 30 seconds.
Strain the margarita into the prepared glasses and garnish with a pineapple wedge and slice of jalapeno. Enjoy immediately.
Weight Watchers Points note: though this margarita is lower in calories than most cocktails if it has more Weight Watchers Points than you want to use, you can reduce the tequila to 3 ounces in your tracker for an additional point savings.
Ingredient notes
- Use blanco, silver or white tequila and choose '100% agave'. This has the best flavor for this margarita and is lower in sugar.
- If possible use fresh juice. Definitely juice the limes versus using bottled juice.
- The seeds of jalapeno peppers are what have the most heat. Remove them before muddling the jalapeno with the lime slices.
