Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Marinate the pineapple in the tequila, orange juice, and lime juice for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Dip in grenadine just before serving to prevent sogginess.
How long should the pineapple marinate?
At least 2 hours in the refrigerator, but 4–8 hours is ideal for deeper flavor absorption.
Can I make a non-alcoholic version?
Yes. Replace tequila with an equal amount of pineapple juice or coconut water, and increase orange juice slightly to maintain flavor balance.
What can I use instead of grenadine?
Pomegranate molasses, red fruit syrup, or a mixture of honey and pomegranate juice work as alternatives for dipping.
How many servings does this recipe make?
This recipe yields approximately 16–20 bites depending on pineapple cube size. Scale up by doubling all ingredients for larger gatherings.
