Smoky mezcal, sweet pineapple, and a slow habanero burn.
Every recipe on Sipped Right is tested at home before it's published — not just written.
Origin
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.
Flavour Profile
Good for someone who wants smoke and heat together. Not for someone who dislikes mezcal's smoky character.
Glass & Garnish
Coupe or martini glass, chilled.

Notes
Adjust habanero syrup to taste. Tequila substitutes but loses the smoke. Pairs well with grilled pineapple.
