Pineapple Passion Fruit Margarita Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup tequila, 1 cup passion fruit nectar, 1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur, 2 teaspoons superfine sugar and a pinch of salt in a cocktail shaker. Shake well, then pour into 4 short glasses filled with crushed ice. Rub the rims with lime wedges, then add to the drink.

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 ounces each reposado tequila and pineapple juice, 1 ounce thawed frozen passion fruit puree, 1/2 ounce orange-flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau) and 1/4 ounce each fresh lime juice and light agave syrup in a shaker with ice; shake to chill. Strain into a short glass filled with ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

Steps:

• For the rim: Mix the chile-lime seasoning with the salt and sugar on a small plate. Run the lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass, then dip the glass into the mixture to coat the rim. Fill with ice and set aside.
• In a cocktail shaker or pint glass, add 4 quartered Grilled Pineapple pieces and 5 Grilled Jalapeno rings. Muddle hard.
• Fill the shaker two-thirds of the way with ice, then add the Mezquila, pineapple juice, lime juice and agave. Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. Strain the contents into the prepared margarita glass.
• Place half a Grilled Jalapeno piece and half a Grilled Pineapple piece in the cocktail and serve.
• Preheat a grill over medium-high heat.
• Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick round slices (at least 6 pieces). Grill until well charred and marked, approximately 90 seconds per side. Cut two-thirds of the pineapple rounds into quarters. Cut the remaining pineapple rounds into halves for garnish.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the whole jalapenos until well-marked, approximately 90 seconds per side. Cut 2 jalapenos into rings. Cut the other 2 lengthwise, leaving stems attached, and remove the seeds. Use the halves for garnish.
