Use Aejo Or Reposado Tequila For Smooth Flavor
Lastly, this margarita uses barrel-aged tequila such as añejo or reposado to give it a toasty flavor. These are tequilas that have been aged in wooden containers. Aged tequilas are generally smoother and have flavors of vanilla, spice, caramel, and butter that pair well with pineapple.

A Classic Margarita With A Spicy Twist
This , made for me by a friend, was her attempt to get me to change my mind. Andshockerit worked! The sweetness of the pineapple tempers the tingle of the jalapeño.
And the rim of the glass? Lined with salt and Tajín, a widely available Mexican seasoning made of salt, chili, and dehydrated lime. You can often find it in the spice aisle or the ethnic/Mexican food aisle of your local supermarket.
Pro tip! In Mexico, youll often see it sprinkled over fresh fruit such as cantaloupe or mango. I highly recommend giving it a try for your next brunch or cookout.

Spice Up Your Ranch Water With Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno Tequila
There was a time when I kept tequila stocked in my bar for margaritas. I didnt drink it straight or mix it in other drinks. That changed the first time we had friends over that requested a ranch water. At the time I was fairly new to Texas and thought they were referring to a brand of bottled water. I know, I know, total newbie.
I know better now, and recognize that ranch water is a timeless cocktail here in Texas, popular regardless of the occasion or the weather. Low calorie, refreshing and easy to make, we feel like ranch water goes with everything from tailgating to sitting on the porch visiting with friends.
All of Dulce Vida tequilas have less than 100 calories per 1.5oz serving and are gluten-free. Plus, all Dulce Vida tequilas are made in small batches and every cork and label is applied by hand.
Dulce Vida tequila is organic with no artificial additives. Handcrafted 100% Blue Agave from Los Altos . Want to mix things up a bit, try their award-winning 100% blue agave blanco tequila infused with refreshing all-natural flavors: Lime, Grapefruit and Pineapple Jalapeno. Great to drink with soda, in a cocktail or even to use as a marinade, the pineapple jalapeno is great on shrimp or chicken.
Dulce Vida is one of the most recognized craft tequilas with honors from San Francisco World Spirits Competition, New York International Spirits Competition, Los Angeles Spirits Competition, The SIP Awards, and Tequila.net.
Review: Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno Tequila
Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno Tequila was just released. It joins a flavored tequila lineup that includes Grapefruit and Lime. Dulce Vida is produced in the Village of San Ignacio Cerro Gordo with 100% Organic blue agave grown for eight years to a height of about 5 foot tall. The pinas weighing up to 200 pounds are chopped and slow roasted for 20 hours in steel auto claves. After cooking, the pinas are milled and rinsed. The by-product of the milling, is a sweet liquid called must or honey water. A proprietary yeast strain is added and a slow open air fermentation follows. Master Distiller Carlos Jurado double distills the tequila. Real pineapple, jalapeno, and natural flavors are infused with the tequila base before bottling at 70 proof.Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno Tequila pours to a cloudy limeade color. The aroma is fresh smashed pineapple and agave with a jalapeno pepper backing. A juicy fresh pineapple burst of flavor is joined by organic agave. At the midpoint jalapeno pepper and creamy vanilla taste arrive, bringing with it a warmth I would describe as mild. The heat intensifies on the finish but never goes beyond a medium heat. Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno is a natural tasting tequila that does a nice job of balancing sweet juicy fresh pineapple, sliced jalapeno, creamy vanilla, and organic agave taste. Serve this chilled in a shot glass, over ice, or mixed in a cocktail.
