About the Pineapple Habanero Mezcal Sour
A modern build with no historic lineage, riding the "swicy" trend — mezcal's smokiness pairs with tropical fruit and chili heat, common on menus over the past decade.
Ingredients
Servings
1
- Mezcal1 ½ oz
- Pineapple juice¾ oz
- Fresh lime juice½ oz
- Habanero syrup¼ oz
Method
- Add the mezcal, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice and habanero syrup to the shaker — no ice.
- Dry shake for 15 seconds.
- Add a scoop of ice to the shaker.
- Shake for 15 seconds.
- Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe.
Glass & Garnish
Coupe or martini glass, chilled. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, optionally with a chilli-salt rim.
Notes
Adjust habanero syrup to taste. Tequila substitutes but loses the smoke. Pairs well with grilled pineapple.
