Roasted Pineapple and red chili Margarita

Love a garden cocktail…. And while we harvested one pineapple we were gifted a couple of more AND some hot and spicy Serrano peppers from two different friends. What is one to do? Yep. Concoct a margarita!

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

• 2-3 Serrano peppers

• 5 ounces tequila

• juice of 2 large limes

• 1 tablespoon Cointreau

• pinch of salt

Oven 425 degrees

Mix the brown sugar and cayenne. sprinkle on pineapple placed in a roasting pan. Roast for 18 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool to room temp.

Add to blender with all other ingredients. Whirl away.

Cool in fridge for 30-40 min. You can strain, but we enjoyed the cool smoothie texture.

Enjoy. Warm your cockles!
Cheers!!
