I love entertaining, my husband and I get so excited for this time of year when we can open the back patio and pull out the furniture and start hosting friends and family. I am always on the prowl for a great recipes=, and I do not play around when it comes to cocktails. I stumbled on this fantastic blog Pineapple & Coconut, and fell in love with their mission! The entire site is a total dream, and I have a feeling if you are reading this then you will feel the urge to click your way on over to see more.
I love anything vanilla, have a major crush on the pineapple right now, and I will do basically anything for a good Margarita… so naturally this Vanilla Pineapple Margarita seemed like heaven in a glass. Check out the website she boasts a heaping load of healthy recipes and this is a website I will be visiting often for more inspiration and we will be featuring more from Pineapple & Coconut as a *guest blogger here with us on C+M! This not only beautiful yet yummy recipe is below and sure to be a crowd pleaser for all of your hosting needs. Enjoy!

- 2 ounces Silver tequila
- 2 ounces triple sec /Patron Citronage/Grand Marnier/Orange Curacao
