With hot, humid weather, nothing tastes better than a frozen drink. I figure it's time to share this bomb Spiced Pineapple Margarita that we've been enjoying. Instead of super sweet margarita mix, I use fresh squeezed lime juice and agave. You can make one glass or a pitcher!

Summer is my favorite season to fill up the freezer with tasty produce. When everything like berries, pineapple and peppers are dirt cheap, I buy in bulk to freeze. This allows us to enjoy Michigan blueberries year round...or at least 6 months. To keep everything from becoming a big frozen block, I put the clean, chopped produce on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper first. After everything is frozen, you can move it to a zip top bag.

Frozen pineapple is a new favorite to freeze. At Aldi, they often have whole pineapples under $2, so I buy an extra one to chop up for smoothies and (more importantly) frozen margaritas! You can also use frozen mango for these too--or a combo of both!

Although the margarita has some chili powder blended in, I like to top it with this Chili and Lime spice too. If you have Tajín on hand, that is tasty too!

• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
• 3 tablespoons agave (or honey!)
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/4 cup Triple Sec
• 1/3 cup tequila of choice
• 2 cups ice
• 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• Optional: salt rim on glass and Mexican Spice (like Tajín) sprinkle

1. In a blender, add a all ingredients. Blend until smooth and all ice is crushed.
2. Pour into a stemless wine or rocks glass. Enjoy!

I used to dislike frozen margaritas because of brain-freeze, but this one blends up smooth and frothy! I happened to find this in an old Martha Stewart magazine and it's been sitting in my recipe binder for a few years now. Last April, I took it out and we've been obsessed since!
