Pineapple Licuado
In the jar of a blender, add all the ingredients and pulse briefly until the pineapple chunks are finely chopped (but not a puree). You will have to add the ingredients in 2 batches. Strain through a medium-mesh strainer. Chill well in the refrigerator. Serve over ice with a garnish of fresh pineapple.
Tangerine Licuado
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to blend. No need to strain. Chill well in the refrigerator. Serve over ice with a tangerine wheel for garnish.
