Smoked Pineapple Mezcal Margarita
Let's get grilling
1
Fire up Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 grill and smoker to 250°F.
2
Place the whole pineapple on the grill and close the lid. Allow the pineapple to smoke for 2 hours, rotating every 30 minutes.
3
Remove the pineapple from the grill and allow to cool for 15 minutes — until safe to handle. Then, slice the pineapple into wedges.
4
Meanwhile, place the sugar and water in a heatproof pot. Simmer the water and sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
5
Add pineapple slices, Szechuan peppercorns, and sliced serrano to the syrup and stir to combine.
6
Allow that mixture to sit for 30 to 40 minutes.
7
Next, strain the mixture into a jar. Keep the pineapple and pepper slices for later, and discard the peppercorns.
8
Fill a pitcher with ice.
9
Add the mezcal, triple sec, limeade and smoked pineapple simple syrup. Stir to combine.
10
Garnish with pineapple wedges and sliced serrano.
11
Pour into salt-rimmed glasses and garnish with a slice of pineapple and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass or on a toothpick.
12
Serve and enjoy.
