You know how you’re at a party and you’ve had too much to drink, but you don’t want to stop because it’s so much fun? And then someone comes up with an idea for an awesome shot that sounds too good to pass up? That’s what a Pineapple Tequila Shot is. It will save your night when you’ve had too many drinks.
Why drink a Pineapple Tequila Shot? Because they’re delicious! And they’re fun to make, it’s like making arts and crafts with your friends. You can look at all the ingredients on your countertop and think “I made this.” Plus, they’re always a hit at parties because they look beautiful and taste delicious!
Ingredients of a Pineapple Tequila Shot
Pineapple tequila shots are one of the best ways to kick off a night, and they’re super easy to make. Just follow these simple steps:
- Pineapple juice (or pineapple soda)
- Fresh pineapple
- Tequila
- Lime slices (optional)
This is a classic tequila shot that’s full of flavor and sweetness.
How to Prepare a Pineapple Tequila Shot
We’ll start by cutting up a fresh pineapple into rings or triangles. If you have a ring cutter, use it! It will make the cutting process much easier. Otherwise, just use a sharp knife. Then fill a shot glass halfway with pineapple juice or soda.
Next, grab your lime slices and squeeze them over the pineapple rings (just enough so that they’re moistened but not dripping wet). Put the rings into a glass.
Finally, pour in some tequila and give it a taste test!
Tips to Enjoy the Pineapple Tequila Shot
- Make sure you’re ready for it. The Pineapple Tequila Shot is a great way to start your night, but if you’ve already had a few drinks and are looking for something that will make the first half of your night go by faster, this probably isn’t the shot for you.
- Don’t overdo it! It’s tempting to have three or four in a row, but if you do that, you’ll be out of commission for hours (not to mention nauseous). If you’re looking for a new favorite drink with friends or even with just one person, try having one shot—or maybe two if it’s been awhile since you’ve had one—and then move on to something else.
- Keep in mind the ingredients! Pineapple Tequila Shots are made with fresh pineapple juice and tequila—no added sugar or additives here—so they taste like sweet-and-sour juice with a kick of alcohol at first sip. They’re also really easy to make: just pour equal amounts into each glass (or cup), stir together, and enjoy!
Pineapple Tequila Shot Variations
- Add lime juice and cayenne pepper to make a spicy version that tastes like a Margarita.
- Use fresh pineapple instead of canned juice and add a little bit of orange juice for another twist on a classic drink.
- Add some orange liqueur or triple sec for an extra kick that goes well with other citrus flavors like lemon or lime.
