Course: Drinks
Servings: 8 cocktails

Ingredients

  • 4 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup agave nectar
  • 1 habanero pepper, halved
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, halved
  • sotol
  • ¼ cup Tajin
  • cubes of pineapple and slices of jalapeño (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, add the pineapple juice, lime juice, agave syrup and hot peppers. Slowly bring the juice up to a gentle boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat and let the the juice cool to room temperature while the hot peppers continue to steep. When cooled, pour the juice and peppers into a glass jar with tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until very cold.
  • Once the juice is cold, it's time to make the cocktail! Grab two glasses, wet the rims of each glass and coat them in Tajin (optional, but highly recommended). Add ice to each glass and set aside.
  • Fill a shaker with ice, 3 ounces of sotol and 7 ounces of spicy pineapple juice. Seal and shake the contents vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain contents into each glass and garnish with a cube of pineapple and a slice of jalapeño, if desired.
  • You will have enough spicy pineapple juice to make 8 cocktails in total. Share with friends and enjoy!
