Ingredients & Substitutions

The ingredients needed to make the margarita.

Pineapple Juice: Use a high quality pineapple juice, or use a juicer to make your own fresh pineapple juice.
Tequila: Use whichever brand of tequila you prefer. Chili’s uses Jose Cuervo tequila that has been infused for 48 hours with blueberries and pineapples. You can do this for an exact replica of the drink, otherwise, whatever tequila you have will work.
Blueberry Syrup: For the best flavor, make your own homemade blueberry drink syrup. However, to save time, you can also use a store bought blueberry simple syrup.
Lime Juice: Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best quality drink.
Triple Sec: Triple sec is an orange liqueur that is used in most margaritas. You can substitute this for another orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau.

Expert Tips

Infuse the tequila. If you have extra time and want to really make this drink special, infuse the tequila with fresh blueberries and pineapple chunks for 48 hours.
Use margarita salt. Regular salt works perfectly well for making a margarita, but margarita salt brings the drink to another level. It is slightly flavored with lime for an extra tang.
Adjust the amount of alcohol. This is a slightly stronger drink with 2 oz of tequila. For a less alcoholic drink, you can reduce the amount of tequila down to 1 oz.

Recipe FAQs

Is this recipe just like Chili’s Blueberry Pineapple Margarita?

Yes, this is a pretty close copycat of Chili’s cocktail. However, Chili’s does infuse their tequila with blueberries and pineapples for 48 hours which is optional for this recipe.

Can I make this a frozen blueberry pineapple margarita?

Sure! To make this a frozen margarita, blend all the ingredients together in a blender with a large handful of ice until you get a slushie consistency

Why is this blueberry pineapple margarita not blue?

The blueberry syrup is actually more of a purple color, and when mixed with the yellow-ish pineapple juice, it makes the drink an orange-pink color. The color of your cocktail will depend on the type of blueberry syrup you use and the type of juice. For a “bluer” drink, add more blueberry syrup.
