October in San Diego means cooler temperatures are starting to settle in, but locals can still expect an above-average warm day here or there. CaliFino Tequila came up with a perfect cocktail for this time of year, the Pineapple Cinnamon Margarita. This tangy adult beverage combines everything fruity we love to drink in the summer (think pineapple juice and agave) with the ideal fall spice, cinnamon.
Below is a recipe for the easy-to-make margarita, which would be perfect for a get-together, game night or sipping while catching up on your favorite shows during the weekend!
