Servings 1
Ingredients
- 2 oz fresh pineapple juice
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 1 oz cointreau
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 jalapeño cut into "coins"
- squirt of agave, optional
- salt or tajin for rim, optional
Instructions
- Prepare pineapple. Remove top leaves and bottom of pineapple. Then remove the rough, outer skin. Next cut one side off being careful to leave the core in the middle. Repeat with the opposite side and then the other two sides. You’ll end up with a square core that you can toss.
- Cut the pineapple into smaller pieces. Add about ¼ of the pineapple to the blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until the pineapple is completely blended.
- Cut the jalapeño into coins.
- Rim glass with salt or tajin by first running a lime wedge along rim and then turning glass upside down onto a plate with salt or tan. Set glass aside.
- Add pineapple juice, tequila, cointreau, lime juice, agave, and 3 jalapeño coins to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously several times until drink is well mixed.
- Add ice to prepared glass and strain cocktail shaker over ice. Garnish with additional jalapeño coins.
