Smoky Sweet Pineapple Margaritas
A fun twist on the classic margarita recipe
Equipment
- 1 Cocktail Shaker (or pitcher)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple Juice I used a bottled juice but made sure it was 100% juice with no added sugar.
- 1/2 cup Mezcal
- 1 Lime (juice)
- 1 Jalapeno (sliced) Optional (for garnish)
- Salt Optional (for the rim)
- Chipotle Powder Optional (for the rim)
Instructions
For the margaritas:
- In a cocktail shaker or pitcher - add plenty of ice, pineapple juice, lime juice, mezcal, and 2 slices or so of jalapeno.
- Shake or stir to mix the drink! Pour into margarita glasses and serve topped with some additional jalapeno slices.
For the salt rim:
- Take a bowl and add in the salt and chipotle powder, mix or shake a little to combine.
- Grab a lime wedge (even a squeezed one will work here!) and rub it to coat the top of the glass.
- Take the cup and flip it upside down. Then dip the glass into the bowl with salt. Give the glass a couple of twists to ensure an even coat.
- Flip the glass right side up, add ice, then pour in your margaritas! Top with some jalapeno slices and serve.
