Ingredients

20 ml Triple Sec (Cointreau)
45 ml Silver Tequila
20 ml Lime Juice
15 ml Pineapple Juice
Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

Rim your glass with cinnamon sugar. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of cinnamon sugar to coat it evenly.

Combine the Ingredients:

In a cocktail shaker, add 20 ml of Cointreau, 45 ml of Sierra Silver Tequila, 20 ml of fresh lime juice, and 15 ml of fresh pineapple juice.

Shake Well:

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. This ensures that all the flavors are well mixed and the drink is nicely chilled.

Strain and Serve:

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish:

Garnish with a fresh pineapple leaf or a slice. For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, consider grilling or dehydrating the pineapple slice before garnishing.

Notes

Grilling or dehydrating the pineapple slice enhances its natural sweetness and adds a smoky depth to the garnish, complementing the tropical flavors of the cocktail.
