Gather all the necessary ingredients: fresh pineapple chunks, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, jalapeño slices, and optional garnishes like salt or chili powder for the rim.
Start by muddling a few pineapple chunks and jalapeño slices in a cocktail shaker. This step extracts the flavors from the pineapple and jalapeño, infusing the margarita with a spicy-sweet essence.
Add a shot of tequila, followed by half a shot of triple sec, and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to the shaker. Adjust the quantities based on your preference for the strength and tartness of the drink.
Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This thoroughly mixes the ingredients and chills the drink to perfection.
Prepare your serving glass by rimming it with salt or chili powder for an extra kick of flavor. Simply rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip it into a plate of salt or chili powder.
Strain the spicy pineapple margarita mixture from the shaker into your prepared glass, garnish with a slice of pineapple or jalapeño if desired, and enjoy responsibly! Adjust the level of spice by adding more or fewer jalapeño slices according to your taste preferences.
