Pineapple Mezcalita

A low-sugar cocktail featuring pineapple juice, jalapeño and cilantro. I pulled it straight from my cookbook, it's so refreshing and delish!

Ingredients

  • Himalayan pink sea salt
  • 1 lime wedge
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 3-4 jalapeño slices (seeds removed)
  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 oz mezcal
  • 1.5 - 2 oz fresh pineapple juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Place a small amount of pink salt in a shallow dish. Coat half the rim of a margarita glass with juice from the lime wedge, and dip the juice-covered part of the rim in the salt. Set aside.
  • In a large glass or cocktail shaker, muddle or gently crush the cilantro and jalapeño slices together to draw out the flavor.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the ice, plus the mezcal, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and lime juice. Stir well.
  • Place the remaining ice in the prepped margarita glass, and use a cocktail strainer to pour the mezcalita over the ice.
  • Garnish with more sliced jalapeño or a lime wedge, if desired. Enjoy!
