This Spicy Pineapple Jalapeno Mezcalita is a refreshing cocktail made with pineapple, cilantro, jalapeño, and mezcal. A delicious drink with sweet, spicy and smokey flavors all at the same time.
Place Mezcal in a glass or a jar. Add in the jalapeño slices and let it steep for 15-20 minutes. The longer it sits the spicier it will get. If you like it spicier, feel free to let it sit longer.
Gently muddle cilantro in a large glass just enough to release its essential oils. Add in the orange liquor, lime juice, and agave nectar and stir to combine. Strain it into a cocktail shaker.
Strain the jalapeño-flavored Mezcal into the shaker and discard the jalapenos. Add pineapple juice to the same shaker. Add fresh ice, put the lid on, and shake for 15 seconds.
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the drink over. Garnish with fresh pineapple, a few slices of jalapenos, and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
