Summer Tequila Coolers


Friday marks the start of the weekend... so you know what that means! C-O-C-K-T-A-I-L time!



I love this because it's super easy to whip up. Just throw everything together and the ingredients are pretty low-key. Every time I see a delicious cocktail I want to try out, it ends up having endless amounts of liqueurs that I don't have on hand of exotic ingredients that I don't even know where to find. Pineapple juice is almost always on hand since I keep some cans in my pantry and you can literally throw any kind of fruit you want in these! Add a stipey straw and I'm ready for a fun weekend...




Summer Tequila Coolers
Yields: 1 cocktail
Adapted from here.

3 oz. fresh pineapple juice
2 oz. blanco tequila
1/2 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
fresh fruit (I used peaches but raspberries, kiwi or mango would be lovely)

Combine the pineapple juice, tequila and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add some ice, shake, strain into rocks glass full of ice. Garnish with spear of pineapple and some fresh fruit.
