Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Cocktail:
  • 2 oz fresh pineapple juice
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz white rum or a non-alcoholic alternative
  • 1 oz agave syrup or simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 6-8 fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Prepare Your Ingredients:
  • Gather all your ingredients and equipment. Ensure your fresh pineapple is ripe and juicy for the best flavor.
  • Muddle the Ingredients:
  • In a cocktail shaker, add the mint leaves and jalapeño slices. Use a muddler to gently press them down to release their flavors. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the mint taste bitter.
  • Mix the Cocktail:
  • Add the fresh pineapple juice, lime juice, rum, and agave syrup to the shaker. Fill it with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
  • Strain and Serve:
  • Fill your serving glasses with ice. Strain the mixture into the glasses, then top off each glass with a splash of club soda for a refreshing fizz.
  • Garnish:
  • Garnish your Spicy Pineapple Mojito with pineapple wedges and a sprig of mint. You can also add an extra slice of jalapeño on the rim for those who want a little more heat!
  • Enjoy!
  • Sip your Spicy Pineapple Mojito and enjoy the refreshing balance of sweetness and spice!
  • Variations
  • Mocktail Version: Substitute the rum with coconut water or additional pineapple juice for a non-alcoholic drink.
  • Fruity Twist: Add other fruits like mango or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
  • Herbal Infusion: Use basil instead of mint for a unique herbal note.
