Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Mezcal
- 1/2 small jalapeño sliced thinly – plus more as a garnish
- 1 ounce orange liquor
- 4 ounces lime juice preferably freshly squeezed
- 1 ounce agave nectar simple syrup
- 12 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves plus more as a garnish
- 2 wedges of pineapple
- Ice
Instructions
- Place Mezcal in a glass or a jar. Add in the jalapeño slices and let it steep for 15-20 minutes. The longer it sits the spicier it will get. If you like it spicier, feel free to let it sit longer.
- Gently muddle cilantro in a large glass just enough to release its essential oils. Add in the orange liquor, lime juice, and agave nectar and stir to combine. Strain it into a cocktail shaker.
- Strain the jalapeño-flavored Mezcal into the shaker and discard the jalapenos. Add pineapple juice to the same shaker. Add fresh ice, put the lid on, and shake for 15 seconds.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the drink over. Garnish with fresh pineapple, a few slices of jalapenos, and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
