Cherry Pineapple Margarita Recipe
PUBLISHED ON: 02.26.2025
If you love margaritas but crave a fruity twist that screams tropical escape, say hello to Cherry Pineapple Margaritas. A blend of sweet cherries, juicy pineapple, and classic margarita magic.
With North Florida’s last freeze (hopefully) behind us, the patio is calling! It’s the perfect excuse to gather a few friends, soak up the fresh air, and raise a glass to warmer days ahead.
This cocktail is as delicious as it is eye-catching—simple ingredients, bold flavors, and zero fuss. One sip, and you’ll feel like you’re lounging beachside, even if you’re just kicking back on the patio.
Cheers!

Oh the patio is definitely calling! We’ve been able to enjoy mid-day patio times here in the NC mountains, but the evenings are still a bit too cold. Soon, though, soon. And when that happens? I need one of these margaritas in my hand!

Okay, this is the most unusual margarita I’ve ever heard of… but I want one now! We have been stealing off to a tiki speakeasy lately and this should be on their menu. I promise I will make them!

Lucky you with your ability to enjoy the patio! Our cat is so sick and tired of this winter – yet, she still cannot tolerate the outdoors for more than 5 minutes haha. And this cocktail? So luscious and fresh!
