  • Ingredients:
  • 2 oz mezcal
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.75 oz simple syrup 1:1 ratio
  • 3 cubes charred pineapple
  • 8-10 mint leaves
  • Soda water to top
  • Crushed ice
  • Mint sprig or pineapple wedge for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a shaker, muddle the charred pineapple cubes with mint and simple syrup.
  2. Add lime juice and mezcal, then fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake briefly (5–7 seconds) to chill and mix.
  4. Strain into a highball glass filled with crushed ice.
  5. Top with soda water and stir gently to combine.

Notes

  • To char pineapple: Sear sliced pineapple on a hot skillet or grill for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized. Let cool before using.
  • For a less smoky version, substitute half the mezcal with white rum for a split-base approach.
