Pineapple Mezcal Margarita
Smoky, tropical, and a little charred if you take the extra step. This one converts the people who say they do not like mezcal.
How it goes
- Rim the glasses: run a lime wedge around each rim and press into Tajín.
- Shake the pineapple juice, mezcal, Cointreau, lime, and agave hard with ice, in two rounds if your shaker is small.
- Strain over fresh ice.
- Garnish with pineapple and lime. If you have a hot pan or grill going, char the pineapple wedges first.
Make it yours
- Blanco tequila instead of mezcal for a brighter, less smoky glass.
- Blend with ice for the frozen version on the truly hot days.
Between us
The charred pineapple is optional and also the thing everyone photographs.
Enjoy your thyme.

When the season turns, I write you a letter.
One short note when the menu changes: what’s ripe, what I’m cooking, and a few things worth gathering people around. Nothing else.
