Pineapple Margaritas By the Glass

1. Add 3 ounces pineapple juice, 2 ounces orange juice, 1 ounce triple sec, 1-2 ounces tequila, 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice to a co*cktail shaker with ice.
2. Shake vigorously and strain over ice in a prepared margarita glass.

Can You Freeze Leftover Margaritas?

• Mix all of the margarita ingredients together and place in a zip top freezer bag. Lay on a cookie sheet or sheet pan until frozen, this keeps it flat and easy to store. For individual storage, fill half pint mason jars 3/4 full and seal with a lid. Freeze up to 3 months.
• To Thaw: Remove from freezer and thaw in refrigerator. Stir well and serve over ice or serve a frozen margarita right from the mason jars.
