These Pineapple Margarita Mocktails make for the most refreshing drink! This recipe is super simple, only requiring just 5 minutes. We love to make these margaritas all summer long, especially for Taco Tuesday! Plus, with my sweet mocktail version you don’t have to worry about that hang over the day after.
These healthy margaritas have been my favorite ever since I gave up alcohol back in 2019! I wrote a whole blog post on how Giving Up Alcohol has been such a game changer. It really has made a world of a difference for me.

- Just like the other mocktail recipes on my website, this drink will leave you feeling refreshed in the morning!

Ingredients:
For the mocktail:
- Frozen pineapple chunks-I like the frozen chunks for Costco. They sell the chunks in a big bag and I find that it is the best bang for your buck. You do not have to use frozen, but if you want your margarita to be frozen, it is best.
- Lime-Fresh lime to complement the sweet pineapple!
To garnish:
- Jalapeños slices-cut real fine.
- Mint-Fresh mint leaves. The best way to get the most out of your mint, is by patting it before using it in a dish prior to eating/ drinking.
- Red pepper flakes and sea salt rim-To add an extra kick.
Substitutions & Variations
- If you like things fruity (like I do) try adding a few strawberries or a banana to the blender.
- If you only have fresh pineapple on hand, you will need to add some ice to the blender to keep it nice and cold.

Recipe FAQs
I love making margaritas for taco night! I have so many taco recipe on my blog: Buffalo Shrimp Tacos, Halibut Tacos, and my Sheet Pan Shrimp Tacos.
You can, but I personally feel like this drink does not need it! If I were to add alcohol I would add tequila.
Yes! However, you will need to add a little bit of ice to keep it cold.
Cut a lime and wipe it around the rim. Add some salt to a plate and brush the rim of the cup over the the rim. You can even add red pepper flakes if you would like to spice it up!
Storage Instructions
- I suggest making this drink to serve. While you can store it in the fridge in an air tight container, it will likely be watery.
