Happy weekend friends! I’ve blended up a tasty frozen cocktail treat for you because… tequila! Spring and cinco de mayo are right around the corner and what’s better than a tropical warm weather cocktail?
This frosty drink is the best way to welcome the warm summer weather. Paired with a tasty taco, you might just have a perfect match!
Depending on seasonality and how sweet your pineapple is be sure to taste and adjust the amount of simple syrup.
