Ingredients

  • 1.50 oz Mezcal
  • 1 small jalapeño (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 oz orange liqueur
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 wedge of pineapple
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Place the Mezcal in a jar and add the thinly sliced jalapeño. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to infuse the spiciness, adjusting the duration for desired heat.
  2. Gently muddle the cilantro in a large glass to release its oils, then mix in the orange liqueur and lime juice. Strain the mixture into a pitcher.
  3. Strain the jalapeño-infused Mezcal and pineapple juice into the same pitcher, and stir well.
  4. Pour the cocktail into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge, jalapeño slices, and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
