Pineapple Cilantro Lime Margarita
"On a recent trip to New Orleans, I got a delicious margarita at El Gato Negro in the French Quarter, a Pineapple Cilantro Lime Margarita. I had to come home and try and recreate it since it's a bit of a hike to NOLA from Ohio! While it may not be exact, I find this to be very close and VERY good! Perfect for a hot summer day!"

This is a great recipe! I have been to this resturant also in the french quarter and this is as close as it comes. Thank you for recreating this recipe! I make this about once a week! -
I live very close to this restaurant and fell in love with this margarita as well. This recipe is a great starting point but I added orange juice to mine. I noticed that the color of the mix at the restaurant is much more of a rich golden yellow rather than a light green yellow and figured that was the difference. When I brought them to a party, my friends thought I picked them up from the restaurant. This was a much cheaper and just as tasty version of the restaurant margarita. Thanks for sharing.

I am a 30 year old housewife (newly married) that loves to cook. I pretty much will try anything that doesn't include seafood. I am a professional photographer so I have lots of time during the week to cook. I absolutely adore Taste of Home and read it religiously.
