Notes
The recipe can be doubled keeping the same proportions.
Use fully ripe pineapple for the best flavor. Cut your own or purchased fresh pineapple chunks from the grocery store.
Notes on the Spicy Rimming Salt
This recipe will make more than is needed for the margaritas. Store unused salt in an airtight jar to use for future cocktails.
Making a larger amount is needed to provide enough depth that the glasses rims can be submerged to cover the rims well.
If a spicy rim is not desired, just salt can be used.
The glass rim does not have to have salt at all.
