Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 cocktail
Instructions:
Begin by preparing your cocktail glass. Wet the rim of your glass with a lime wedge or by dipping it into a bit of tequila. Spread Tajín seasoning on a small plate and dip the rim of the glass into the seasoning until it's coated. Set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. If you are making a frozen version, skip this step, and ensure your pineapple is frozen before blending.
Add the fresh diced pineapple to the shaker. If you prefer a smoother texture or are making a frozen version, blend the pineapple separately until pureed, then pour it into the shaker.
Pour 2 oz of tequila into the shaker, along with 1 Tbsp of Depache (peach liqueur) for a sweet, fruity twist.
Secure the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
Strain your Tepache Margarita into the prepared glass. If you’ve made a frozen version, simply pour the blended mixture directly into the glass.
Garnish the rim of the glass with a slice of pineapple for that picture-perfect tropical touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, juicy flavors of your Tepache Margarita – José's Tropical Twist!
Cooking Tips:
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less Depache according to your preference.
If you like your margarita with a bit more kick, add a small sprinkling of Tajín directly into the shaker before mixing.
For an alcohol-free version, substitute tequila with a non-alcoholic spirit or simply use more pineapple juice.
