Pineapple Margarita Mocktail

Margaritas are my go-to drink, no question about it. But let me tell you, learning to craft non-alcoholic margaritas was pure joy. Especially when it’s Taco Tuesday—because what's better than tacos and a zesty, alcohol-free margarita? Oh wait, nachos. Yes, those late-night nachos that are clearly doing more for your soul than your actual hunger. You know exactly what I'm talking about—those chips piled high like they’re a bad decision in a plastic container, and you're like, "Why am I still eating these?!" Well, now you’ve got a margarita to go with it, and it's basically a match made in taco and nacho heaven.

• Ice

• Lime wedge and pineapple slice (for garnish)

• Tajín or salt (for rimming the glass, optional)

Tips:
