"Spiced Pineapple Cocktail"

Spiced Pineapple Cocktail

 

 

 

I saw a fabulous beverage in the Martha Stewart magazine and thought it would be the perfect cocktail as we wait for Spring to arrive.  I'm venturing south to Florida this week and look forward to sharing a variety of stories, photos, beverages and sites through the winter season. 

 

Ingredients:

 

1/3 cup lime juice (approx. 3 limes)

3 T. honey

1 cup pineapple juice

2 cups fresh/frozen pineapple chunks

1/4 cup triple sec

1/3 cup tequile

2 cups ice

 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder

1 1/2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

 

Add top seven ingredients to a blender and mix.  Then combine chili powder, sugar and salt in a small bowl.  Moisten the rim of four glasses with a lime wedge.  Coat the glass rims in the powder mixture.  Divide blender mixture into glasses and garnish with a lime.  It's perky and quite enjoyable !

 

Cheers !
