 “Happy “Cinco de Mayo” everyone!!  I have to clarify something though…it’s not just about the chips and salsa mi amigos!  “Ay Carumba”!! It’s a celebration, so it’s about the Margaritas!!    Just a hunch, but I don’t think I’m the lone ranger on this one. So, for you, Mexico {and me} I have concocted a lovely frozen cocktail dedication to this holiday and it’s called a Pineapple Express Margarita {Margarita Piña Express}! And it’s super yummy!!

I love history, but learned something more about this holiday to share with you.  WootWoot!  Sooooo…it’s Time for ChocolaTess Trivia Time:  Do you know what “Cinco de Mayo” represents? 

According to Banderas News {Julie Layton}, May 5th marks the Mexican army’s victory over the French invaders at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.  In the United States, the celebration of this battle has come to be known simply as the “Cinco de Mayo”.  Along with the Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16, “Cinco de Mayo” has become  a time to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture.

  A great margarita, a great battle, a great victory!  Viva Mexico!  Don’t forget the shot of Tequila on the side! 🙂 What’s your favorite margarita? Frozen or on the rocks?

Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Pineapple chunks fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup Mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 8 ounces Cabo Tequila
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • Ice 1 - 2 cups approx
  • Salt or Sugar for rim of glass optional
  • Fresh pineapple and lime for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pour all ingredients into blender (except salt and garnish)
  • Run your blender until the liquid is a frozen slushy blend.
  • --If you use frozen fruit, you can use less ice that way, so you get more flavor!
  • When your drink is through blending, pour into the glasses and enjoy!
  • Rub rim of glass with a lime slice and dip in salt or sugar. Serve and garnish with pineapple and limes.

Notes

Optional: You could add in a couple slices of fresh jalepeno's to give it a little heat--Yum! Don't over do it though! And some Guava juice would be good in here too 😀
Trivia Conversion Tidbit:
2 quarts=64oz
8 cups
4 pints
1/2 gallon
or (4 )16 oz glasses
To freeze leftovers, store in mason jars. Pull them out of the freezer about 20 minutes before you are ready to drink them and loosen the slush up with a fork. Yum!
