1
Prepare the Ingredients
Cut the fresh pineapple into small chunks and slice the jalapeno pepper in half lengthwise.
2
Infuse the Tequila
In a clean glass jar, combine the tequila, pineapple chunks, and jalapeno halves. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 24-48 hours to infuse.
3
Strain the Infused Tequila
After the infusion period, strain the tequila through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle, discarding the solids.

Prepare the Glasses
If desired, rim the glasses with salt by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and then dipping it into a plate of salt.
5
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of the infused tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1/2 oz of simple syrup. Add ice to fill the shaker.
6
Shake and Strain
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled. Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with ice.
