Pineapple Mezcalita Recipe
Ingredients:
2 oz of Mezcal or Tequila (you pick your fighter)
1 oz of fresh lime juice (nothing but the freshest)
1 oz fresh pineapple juice (for that tropical sweetness)
0.5 oz agave syrup (straight from the heart of the agave plant)
A pinch of salt (to balance the flavors)
Jalapeño slices (for that kick we talked about)
A few cilantro leaves (for a green, earthy note)
Ice (because what’s a margarita without it?)
Grilled pineapple and lime wheel for garnish (because we eat with our eyes first)
Instructions:
Prep Your Glass: Get your cocktail glass ready. A chilled glass adds that extra oomph to your Pineapple Margarita.
Combine and Shake: In your trusty cocktail shaker, throw in a generous amount of ice. Pour in the Mezcal/Tequila, fresh lime juice, fresh pineapple juice, agave syrup, throw in a couple of jalapeño slices (be bold!), and don’t forget a sprig of cilantro. The sweet and spicy vibes will thank you.
The Shake Down: Now, give that cocktail shaker a good hustle. You’ll want to shake it until it’s frosty on the outside to ensure everything’s mixed well and the flavors have melded beautifully.
Strain and Serve: Strain the liquid gold into your prepared glass, leaving the ice in the shaker. No one likes a watered-down margarita.
Make It Gorgeous: Garnish with a slice of grilled pineapple and a lime wheel. They add an extra layer of smokiness and zest, making this Pineapple Margarita the cocktail of your dreams.
And there you have it, a glass of sweet and spicy perfection that'll transport you to the most exotic of beaches with every sip. From the smokiness of the mezcal, the sweet tang of the fresh pineapple juice, the zing of fresh lime juice, to the spicy kick of jalapeño slices – this Pineapple Margarita recipe is all about celebrating the beautiful contrasts that life (and good cocktails) have to offer.
So, here’s to finding joy in the mix of flavors and moments life throws our way. Cheers!
