Pineapple-Jalapeno-Cilantro Margarita(Non-Alcoholic)

How to Make Virgin Pineapple-Jalapeno-Margarita

Hello Foodies,

A sweet, tangy, spicy, and delicious margarita that is incredibly simple and easy to make is our new favorite! Have you ever tried a spicy Margarita? If not, then you need to try this delicious treat! This Margarita isn’t too sugary/sweet or not too spicy or tangy like other drinks. It just YUM!

I tried it last summer when we(my friends & me) went to a restaurant, and my friend had ordered it. I just had one sip, and it was damn good, since then I wanted to recreate it, and here you go, I made it.

That one sip of Pineapple-Jalapeno Margarita has changed my mind. And shocker, it worked! The rim of glass-lined with salt and Tajín(a Mexican seasoning made of salt, chili, and dehydrated lime) is perfect. I highly recommend giving it a try for your next party.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

To Muddle the Mixture:

½ cup Pineapple Chopped
3-4 slices of Jalapeno(Remove the seeds)
1 Tbsp Coriander/Cilantro leaves, Chopped
½ cup Pineapple Juice (I used fresh home-made Pineapple juice)
1 tbsp Sugar
1 Cup Club Soda / Plain soda
Ice cubes

To Prepare the Glasses:

½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Red chili powder(I used mild chili powder)
Few lemon slices, pineapple, and jalapenos for garnishing

Instructions:

To Muddle the Mixture:

Add Jalapeno slices, chopped pineapple, cilantro(fresh cilantro adds a lovely herbal flavor to the drink), sugar, and a pinch of salt in a big glass.
Muddle it very well with a muddler, dowel, or a wooden spoon.
Allow to infuse the mixture for about five minutes and pour it to the pitcher/Shaker and keep it aside.

To Prepare the Glasses:

Combine the salt and chili powder(you can use Tajín if you have) on a small plate.
Now, take a glass (a cocktail or coupe glass will do) and rub the rim with a wedge of lime/lemon.
Dip the glass into the salt and chili powder mixture and give it a small turn or two to coat the rim and keep it ready.

To Make the Cocktail(Pineapple-Jalapeno Margarita):

In the prepared glass, add ice cubes, pour pineapple juice, muddled mixture, and club soda.
Add jalapeno slices, pineapple chunks, cilantro leaves, and garnish with pineapple and jalapeno.
Stir and Enjoy!!!

Notes:

It can be made a few hours before, but not too much longer as citrus juice has a tendency to become bitter after extended contact with air.
I didn’t use sparkling water, but if you want to add it just before serving.
