Wolverine Margarita Recipe (Pineapple Margarita)
This amazing Wolverine Margarita recipe is a cocktail as bold and fierce as its namesake. This delicious cocktail is inspired by the upcoming superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine, which we cannot wait to watch this summer. This yellow Wolverine cocktail will evoke the fierce spirit within you and is best sipped while watching any Wolverine or X-Men movie.
Why You’ll Love This Marvel-Inspired Margarita
This Wolverine Drink puts an invigorating spin on the classic margarita and is also one of the easiest cocktails to prepare! Here are other reasons why you’ll get obsessed with it (as we are):
- This margarita has a nice sweetness and general fruity flavor from the pineapple juice, making it highly enjoyable.
- It has classic margarita vibes but has a little more depth thanks to the whisky (a nod to the character).
- The Wolverine margarita has a fun yellow color bringing to mind the character’s yellow uniform.
- This movie-inspired cocktail comes together in about 5 minutes!

Whether you’re having a Marvel or X-Men movie marathon with friends, hanging out and relaxing with the boys, or hosting fun spring or summer parties with loved ones, having a Wolverine margarita in hand will definitely “mutate” the occasion into something super fun and exciting!
And don’t miss our Deadpool margarita (coming soon)! We think these two Marvel margaritas work perfectly as tasters. We made 1/2 servings of both flavors to enjoy together, which works perfectly to celebrate the upcoming summer blockbuster.
Ingredients
We used Johnnie Walker Black Label Whisky when making this recipe. If you don’t have this in your bar, feel free to use whatever whisky you have. I love how it works with the fruit flavor of this Wolverine margarita.
To add a more authentic movie-like touch to this margarita, we used Patron Silver tequila – the same ingredient we used when making our Deadpool cocktail. We thought it was apt for this recipe since you see characters drinking this tequila in the film! If you don’t have Patron Silver, use your preferred brand or one in your bar. As always, the best tequila is the one you have around!
To lend sweetness and slight orange flavor to this margarita, we used Triple Sec, our go-to orange liqueur when making delicious cocktails. However, you can also use Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead of Triple Sec, depending on your preference.
As always, using fresh lime juice is a MUST to get the best, most authentic citrus flavors in your margarita.
The pineapple juice adds tasty and refreshing flavor, but it also lends the Wolverine margarita its yellowish hue. Feel free to add food coloring to boost the colors even more, especially if you want to achieve the bright yellow shade of Wolverine’s costume.

How to Make Wolverine Margarita Recipe
Rim the Margarita Glass
Use a lime wedge to moisten a portion of your margarita glass. Next, place some margarita salt on a plate. Carefully dip the moistened portions of the glass into the plate until it’s sufficiently covered with salt. Set aside the glass for now as you work on the margarita.

Step 1
To a cocktail shaker add the whisky, tequila, Triple Sec, lime juice, and pineapple juice. Use a jigger to ensure correct measurements of each ingredient.
Step 2
Add ice and shake vigorously for several seconds.
Step 3
Strain the margarita mixture into a small glass with a salt rim.
Step 4
Garnish with a yellow gummy candy on the side, then serve alongside a Deadpool margarita. You could also pull out any of the flavors from the drink, like a pineapple wedge or slice of lime.
Tips
- The drink is sweet enough for me. But if you like your Wolverine margarita a little sweeter, add some simple syrup or agave to the mixture, depending on your preference.
- To help enhance your drinking experience, chill the glasses in the freezer before using them.
- If you want to make just half a serving, use only half the ingredients, add to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake well before straining the contents to a glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re feeling adventurous and want to further exemplify Wolverine’s electrifying nature, go ahead and add some club soda to the margarita for a fizzy twist!
In the comics, he usually drinks beer when in America. But if he gets a chance to drink Japanese alcohol, he’d go for a Kirin Ichiban. And for tough days, he can easily down a bottle of whisky!
Wolverine’s combat suits are a mix of yellow and blue, representing his “X-Men” roots. If you want to stay true to these colors, you can garnish with Art of Sucre Cotton Candy Bomb in blue. You can see it in action in our Ghostbusters margarita!
