  4. Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture and infuse the flavors.

  5. Prepare the Garnishes: While the margarita is shaking, prepare your garnishes. Slice some pineapple and habanero slices for garnish.

  6. Pour and Garnish: Once the margarita is well shaken, strain it into your prepared glasses filled with ice cubes.

  7. Garnish each glass with a slice of pineapple and a slice of habanero for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
