Pineapple Black Pepper Margarita

Something to celebrate? Indeed! It feels like Spring is around the corner, doesn’t it? The days are longer and all I can think about is putting away my winter coats. Now, it may be a few more weeks (or months!) of cold weather here in NYC but guess what else there is to cheer about? Today is National Margarita Day, and to mark the occasion I’ve partnered with @Patrón to make one of my favorite cocktails. There are so many riffs on the iconic drink and the Pineapple Black Pepper Margarita is my go-to. The sweet notes of the pineapple complement the tartness of the lime and the black pepper adds a subtle heat— all of course featuring Patrón Blanco and Citrónage Orange Liqueur. Now, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate National Margarita Day, can you!
