Charred Pineapple and Jalapeno Mezcal Smash

Course Drinks
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 Jalapeno diced
  • 1 Pineapple diced (save a few rings for garnish!)
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of agave nectar
  • ¼ Cup of orange liquer
  • ¼ Cup of mezcal
  • 1 Cup of pineapple juice
  • Juice of two limes
  • Small handful of mint

Instructions

  • On a hot grill (we used a grill pan) cook a few pineapple slices on each side for 1-2 minutes. You want the slices to be just charred and not burnt. Reserve these for garnish!
  • In a large shaker or cocktail beater (seen in photos) add in pineapple chunks, jalapeno chunks, agave, and mint. Muddle together for a minute until pineapple has been smashed and released juices. Add in orange liqueur, mezcal, pineapple juice and lime juice. Stir will (30-60 seconds).
  • Strain cocktail into a glass filled with crushed ice. We strained 3/4 of the cocktail and left the rest unstrained for more pineapple and jalapeno flavors. If you want the drink less spicy, strain the whole cocktail. 
  • Garnish with charred pineapple slices, jalapeno slices, and mint.
