Preparation
- If you'd like to rim your glasses with salt or chili lime salt, pour a few tablespoons into a shallow plate or bowl.
- Grab a small lime wedge and run it around the top of each glass. Carefully dip each glass, rim side down, into the salt until coated with as much salt as you'd like. Set aside.
Blending

- Divide blended margarita between the two salt rimmed glasses and serve immediately with a lime wedge for garnish.
Notes
For the best taste, Frozen Pineapple Margaritas are best served fresh. If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for a few hours. These drinks are great for parties or relaxing on the patio. Avoid freezing the margaritas as ice crystals may form, affecting the texture.
