Serves 2 cocktails
Ingredients
Grilled Pineapple
- 1 pineapple (cut into 1-inch thick slices )
Jalapeno Infused Tequila
- 1 cup silver tequila
- 1 jalapeno (sliced into rings)
Cocktail Recipe
- 3 ounces jalapeno infused tequila
- 1 ounce cointreau (or triple sec or Gran Marnier)
- 2 1-inch thick slices of grilled pineapple (chilled)
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice ((juice of 1 lime))
- 2 Tablespoons agave syrup (to taste)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Crushed ice
- Grilled pineapple and lime wedges for garnish
- Citrus salt or kosher salt (for rimming your glass)
Instructions
Jalapeno Infused Tequila
- Add tequila and jalapeno to a clean, lidded container. Shake to combine and allow the flavors to meld for 12-24 hours, depending on how spicy you’d like it. Once the flavor has developed, strain the jalapenos and discard.
- The tequila will keep for up to 1 year. I like to store mine in the freezer.
Cocktail (Serves 2)
- Cut pineapple into 1 inch thick rings, discarding the rind.
- Preheat grill to medium-high and oil it lightly. Grill pineapple for 4-5 minutes on each side, until you get nice grill marks and it begins to soften slightly.
- Place the grilled pieces in a bowl and allow to cool completely in the refrigerator.
- Add jalapeno infused tequila, cointreau, 2 slices of the grilled and chilled pineapple (and any juices that have accumulated in the bowl), lime juice, agave, vanilla extract and water to a blender. Process until smooth. If desired, strain to remove the pulp from the pineapple.
- To salt the rim, run a lime slice or pineapple wedge around the lip of your glass and dip into salt to cover.
- Add crushed ice to your glass, pour in your margarita mixture, and garnish with extra grilled pineapple, jalapeno slices or lime wedges.
