Pineapple Margarita and Shrimp Tacos By Tipsy Gypsy

There’s something magical about the sweet nectar of a roasted pineapple paired with the heat from a smoked jalapeño. To bring that magic to life, we partnered with Tipsy Gypsy­–an expert at combining flavors to produce a whole new experience.

The best thing about this taco & tequila pairing (besides the flavor) is that several ingredients are used in both the cocktail and the taco, making your grocery trip a breeze.

The sweet and tart flavors of this margarita perfectly complement the smoky notes of our aged  Exotico® Reposado Tequila. Paired with shrimp marinated in tequila, taco seasoning and coconut liqueur, it’s like a tropical dream.
