Simple Margarita Recipe



Refreshing and delicious! 
This is one of my favorites. 
I mix up what fruit I use for this recipe 
depending on what I have at the time. 
Pineapple is a great one for how sweet it is. 
Berries make a great red margarita.

Recipe:
1/2 cup (4 oz) Tequila
1/2 cup Orange Juice
1/2 cup Fresh Pineapple
1/2 Tablespoon Lime Juice
Enough Ice to fill your blender
Optional sugar and/or salt



Add ingredients and blend until smooth. 
Rim serving glasses in salt or sugar for enhanced flavor.
