Pineapple Mezcalita

The Pineapple Mezcalita is a vibrant and tropical twist on the classic Margarita, driven by the smoky depth of mezcal. Created by Simon Difford in October 2025, it balances sweet and sour flavors with a medium boozy kick.

• 22.5 ml Triple Sec liqueur (40% alc./vol.)

• 22.5 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 22.5 ml Pineapple juice chilled

• 5 ml Pineapple sugar syrup

• 6 drops Difford's, Daiquiri Bitters

• 3 drop Saline solution (20g sea salt to 80g water) or a merest pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill an OLD-FASHIONED GLASS.

• Prepare a garnish of a pineapple wedge.

• Shake all ingredients with ice.

• Strain into an ice-filled glass.
