Oaxaca Caesar

Ingredients
  

Rim

  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 lime wedge

Cocktail

  • 30 ml tequila blanco
  • 7.5 ml 7.5 ml mezcal joven
  • 150 ml Caesar mix extra spicy
  • 15 ml pineapple juice fresh or canned
  • ½ tsp lime juice

Pineapple Skewer Garnish

  • Pineapple Skewer Garnish
  • 1 pineapple spear 6 × 1 inches/15 × 2.5 cm
  • ½ tsp honey
  • pinch Tajín
  • 1 long wooden or steel skewer

Instructions
 

Cocktail

  • Pour the salt onto a small plate. Circle the rim of your glass with the lime wedge, then roll the rim in the salt.
  • Pour the tequila, mezcal, Caesar mix, pineapple juice, and lime juice into a cocktail shaker (or other mixing vessel). Fill the shaker with ice to just above the top of the liquid and stir with a bar spoon until the outside of the shaker is very cold to the touch.
  • Fill the rimmed glass three-quarters full with fresh cubed ice. Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass and top with additional ice if desired. Garnish with the pineapple skewer.

Grilled Pineapple Skewer

  • Place the pineapple spear on the skewer. (If you’re using a wooden skewer, soak it in advance so it doesn’t burn.) Get a BBQ (or grill pan) screaming hot and grill the pineapple on all sides until nice char marks develop, approximately 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove the pineapple skewer from heat and, while it’s still hot, brush with the honey and dust with a pinch of Tajín.
