Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Mezcalum Espadin or Cuishe Mezcal
  • 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 oz agave nectar (or simple syrup)
  • Crushed ice
  • Mint sprigs for garnish
  • Optional: Lime wedge for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Muddle the Mint: In a sturdy julep cup or rocks glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with the agave nectar. Don't over-muddle; you want to release the oils, not pulverize the leaves.
  2. Add the Mezcal: Pour in 2 oz of Mezcalum Espadin or Cuishe Mezcal. The smoky notes of our artisanal mezcal will create a unique depth of flavor.
  3. Pack with Ice: Fill the glass completely with crushed ice.
  4. Stir and Chill: Stir thoroughly until the outside of the glass becomes frosty.
  5. Garnish: Garnish with a generous sprig of fresh mint and, if desired, a lime wedge.

Charred Pineapple Mezcal Smash: A Smoky Sip of Oaxaca

Charred Pineapple Mezcal Smash: A Smoky Sip of Oaxaca
SEE RECIPE
Cocktail star

Ingredients:

For one cocktail, you’ll need:

  • 2 oz Mezcalum mezcal
  • 3 pineapple slices (grilled or charred)
  • 1 small slice of fresh jalapeño (adjust for heat preference)
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz agave syrup (or honey for a twist)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Ice cubes
  • Pineapple wedge or jalapeño slice (for garnish)

Instructions: 

Step 1: Grill the Pineapple

Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Place fresh pineapple slices on the grill and cook until they develop caramelized char marks, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step enhances the pineapple’s natural sweetness, adding depth to your cocktail.

Step 2: Muddle the Ingredients

In a sturdy shaker or mixing glass, combine the charred pineapple, jalapeño slice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the ingredients to release their flavors. Be cautious with the jalapeño; a little goes a long way!

Step 3: Add Mezcalum Mezcal and Ice

Pour 2 ounces of Mezcalum into the shaker. Add a generous handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. The shaking process chills and blends the flavors to perfection.

Step 4: Strain and Serve

Double strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Double straining ensures a smooth drink, free of pineapple or jalapeño bits.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy

Garnish with a sprig of cilantro, a wedge of pineapple, or a slice of jalapeño for extra flair. Sip and savor the bold, smoky flavors that only Mezcalum can deliver.
