I am so proud to be working with BOLS to bring you this amazing and delicious cocktail! Cinco de Mayo happens to be one of my favorite holidays because of the food and drink! I could live on guacamole, chicken tacos, margaritas and be a happy happy girl. So I was so excited when BOLS reached out to my good friend, Becky, and I and asked us to pair their amazing Spicy Pineapple Margarita with one of Becky’s delicious Rotel Dip for the perfect Cinco de Mayo party. Make sure you check out the video of us at the bottom of this post to see us throwing together the perfect Cinco spread!
WHAT MAKES THIS SPICY MARGARITA SO EASY
I love this margarita recipe because it is so simple, but the flavors in it are absolutely perfect. It doesn’t get much better than spicy and sweet together, and this cocktail does that perfectly. The key to this amazing and easy margarita is BOLS Pineapple Chipotle Liqueur. Did you know that Bols is the oldest liqueur brand dating back to the 1500s? It is made in Amsterdam and is rigorously tested, which is probably why it is the most awarded liqueur brand in the world. Using BOLS’ Pineapple Chipotle Liqueur in this recipe makes throwing it together so easy and also means that you know you are going to end up with a perfect spicy and sweet margarita. The chipotle flavor adds a smokiness that is amazing in this! I love that BOLS has so many different liqueur flavors to make different spins on all your favorite cocktails!

HOW TO RIM A MARGARITA GLASS
After you get the hang of rimming and garnishing your margaritas, you can do all sorts of fun rims. I love a good salty rim, but colored sugar is really fun too! Add a pineapple wedge and you are ready to shake up your Spicy Pineapple Margaritas and pour them in their glasses! The measurements listed below for the salt and sugar mixture will give you more than enough to rim four glasses, so this is perfect if you are hosting and you want to take your presentation up a notch.
