The Smoky Pineapple Margarita is a Novel Nightcaps original cocktail that was created as a pineapple-flavored variation of the classic Margarita. It uses the original's template of tequila, triple sec, and lime but adds mezcal for smokiness, a pineapple syrup made using the sous vide method for fruit flavor, and a Tajín rim for savoriness.
Pour Tajín onto a plate, rub part of outer rim with lime wedge, and roll rim of glass in Tajín until coated.
Add tequila, mezcal, triple sec, lime juice, and pineapple syrup to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into Tajín-rimmed margarita glass.
Garnish with lime slice.
