Smoked Pineapple Sour

Description

Smoked Pineapple Sour layers smoke rather than relying on a theatrical smoke cloud. Mezcal provides the main smoky note, dark rum adds molasses depth and pineapple juice gives fruit that naturally works with both spirits.

Roasted pineapple syrup reinforces caramelised fruit while lime and egg white keep the drink bright and silky. It should taste like grilled pineapple beside a fire, not barbecue sauce.
