Pineapple Tequila Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup each granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the jalapeno and set aside 15 minutes to infuse the syrup. Remove the jalapeno and discard; set the syrup aside to cool completely.
• Pour the syrup into a blender and add the pineapple and tequila. Blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a pitcher; refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. Moisten the rims of 4 to 6 glasses with lime wedges, then dip in demerara sugar; fill with ice and the cocktail.

Steps:

• Prepare a vegetable juicer (or blender if unavailable). Run the pineapple, limes and cucumber through the juicer, letting all the juices combine. Pour the tequila into a cocktail shaker or pitcher, and then add the juices, ice, agave and salt. Shake or stir vigorously until chilled. Line up 4 tall Tom Collins glasses filled with ice, and pour the tequila cooler over. Serve with straws and cucumber slices for garnish.

Steps:

• Stir together tequila, lime juice, and sugar until sugar is dissolved.
• Peel pineapple with a large sharp knife, keeping crown of leaves attached. Trim bottom.
• Remove eyes from pineapple in spiral channels with a sharp paring knife: Cut along each side of diagonal row of eyes that spirals down pineapple, forming a V-shaped channel. Cut out channel and eyes and repeat procedure with remaining rows of eyes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Lay pineapple on its side, then, beginning at base and moving upward, carefully cut pineapple lengthwise in half through leaves, keeping leaves attached. Cut out core from each half and pull out some of long innermost leaves so no leaves are longer than about 7 inches.
• Arrange pineapple halves, flat sides down, in a glass or ceramic 13- by 9-inch baking dish, then pierce all over and all the way through with a skewer.
• Stir tequila mixture and spoon over pineapple. Lay a sheet of wax paper over pineapple and bake in middle of oven, basting with juices every 10 minutes, until pineapple is tender and slightly caramelized, about 50 minutes. Halve pineapple halves lengthwise and serve with any juices remaining in baking dish.

Steps:

• Combine the first six ingredients in a chilled cocktail shaker. Shake and strain over fresh ice into a glass. Garnish with the pineapple slice.

Steps:

• Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Thread pineapple pieces onto 6 skewers, dividing equally. (Tequila mixture and pineapple skewers can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.).
• Marinade the pineapple for 30 minutes, bring to room temperature
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill pineapple until brown, basting with tequila mixture and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes total. Remove pineapple from skewers; serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Cut the top off the pineapple and then cut off the skin, being careful to get rid of all the scales.
• Remove the core and dicard.
• Cut fruit into chunks small enough to fit in the bottle.
• Put pineapple in the bottle.
• Combine sugar and tequila, stirring to dissolve sugar.
• Pour into bottle.
• Split vanilla bean and add it to the bottle.
• Let the tequila stand for at least 1 week, shaking gently everyday to mix ingredients.

Steps:

• Peel and chop the pineapple,including the core.Split vanilla beans lengthwise.Place all ingredients in a sterile wide mouthed glass or ceramic jar and seal.
• Set aside for 1 week in a cool dark place,shaking the jar daily to agitate ingredients and release their flavors.
• Strain,transfer to a decorative bottle and serve as desired.

Steps:

• Soak 1 dozen small bamboo skewers in cold water. Cut off top and bottom poles of pineapple. Stand it upright on the cutting board and cut off rind, using a sharp knife and smooth downward motions. Remove any remaining eyes with the tip of a paring knife. Cut in quarters lengthwise and cut out and discard woody core. Cut flesh into 1 or 1 1/2-inch chunks.
• In a medium bowl, combine tequila, lime juice and sugar. Add pineapple chunks and toss to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature. Preheat grill to medium high. Drain pineapple chunks and divide among skewers. Brush grill well, wipe with oiled paper towel and place skewers on grill at an angle. Cook a total of 68 minutes, turning frequently, until outside is lightly caramelized. Remove from grill, let cool slightly and serve 2 skewers in each bowl of Watermelon Granita.

Steps:

• Make the simple syrup: Bring 1/2 cup water and the sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool. (You should have about 2/3 cup syrup, enough for 10 cocktails.)
• For each drink: Muddle the pineapple, sage and 1/2 ounce of the simple syrup in a shaker with the handle of a wooden spoon. Add the tequila and lemon juice, fill with ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Steps:

• Trim the top off the pineapple, then halve the pineapple crosswise. Use a spoon to hollow out the two halves, saving the flesh and discarding the core. Set the hollowed-out halves aside to use as cups later.
• Add the reserved pineapple flesh to a blender with the mango, strawberries, cream of coconut, tequila and lime juice. Top with 2 cups of ice and blend until smooth.
• Pour the cocktails into the hollowed-out pineapple halves. Skewer the fresh fruit, including the lime slices, to use as garnish.

Steps:

• Remove rind from pineapple, core, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Combine tequila, 1 tbl lime juice, and pineapple. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Drain and toss with brown sugar.
• Coat saute pan with canola oil and heat on medium high. Add pineapple slices and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized, about 6 minutes. Dice half of the slices into 1/4 inch pieces. (Refrigerate remaining slices for another use. I would probably not bother marinating half of the slices to begin with).
• Combine the diced pineapple with the remaining lime juice and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Let salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Thread pineapple pieces onto 6 skewers, dividing equally. (Tequila mixture and pineapple skewers can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill pineapple until brown, basting with tequila mixture and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes total. Remove pineapple from skewers; serve hot or warm.

• Premix the tequila and sugar until dissolved.
• Split the bean pod in half. Place with pineapple in a 3-1/2 pint airtight jar or bottle and store in a dark place for at least a week.
• Make sure to strain fruit after two weeks and store in an appropriate liquor bottle.
