Pineapple Tajin Highball

Description

Pineapple Tajin Highball uses ripe pineapple as the bridge between reposado tequila and a small measure of mezcal. Lime sharpens the fruit while soda turns the combination into a long, food-friendly drink.

Tajín belongs on only half the rim so the drinker can move between clean, smoky fruit and chilli-lime seasoning.

Ingredients

40 ml Reposado tequila
10 ml Mezcal
60 ml Pineapple juice
15 ml lime juice
Approx. 75 ml Soda Water, to top
Tajín Seasoning
1 piece Pineapple leaf (for garnish)
Ice

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Use for gentle integration without losing carbonation. Bottle Opener – Useful for opening bottled sparkling mixers.

Instructions

Run a lime wedge around half the rim of a highball glass and coat that half with Tajín.
Fill the glass with ice and add reposado tequila, mezcal, pineapple juice and lime juice.
Stir briefly, then top with soda water.
Stir once from the bottom and garnish with a pineapple leaf.
