Everyone loves a traditional margarita, but sometimes you need to spice it up a little! The jalapeño in this cocktail takes your margarita to the next level, while the sweet pineapple balances and refreshes. Kick things up a further by garnishing with a chili salt rim and you’ll have a heated up cocktail that’s not for the faint-hearted.
