The Charred Pineapple Margarita
🍹 Happy #NationalMargaritaDay - As a throwback, may I present my go-to Margarita recipe. Yes, I realize Its a little involved to make but it also took weeks to perfect the ingredients and ratios. The Extra Añejo takes this recipe to another level by adding an extra depth of flavor from the aged Patrón offering. Its a crowd favorite every time I’ve made it (usually in batches) and hope you’ll give it a try. You won’t regret it!
ingredients:
1½ oz | 45 ml Extra Añejo Tequila
¾ oz | 22.5 ml Fresh Pineapple Juice
¼ oz | 7.5 ml Green Chile Liqueur
½ oz | 15 ml Burnt Sugar Simple Syrup
1 oz | 30 ml Fresh Lime Juice
5 Drops Habanero Bitters
1 Large Pinch of Smoked Salt
Charred Pineapple Wedge (Garnish)
Dehydrated Lime Wheel (Garnish)
instructions:
Combine all ingredients except the garnishes in a shaking tin with ice. Shake vigorously and double strain into a a rocks glass (or pineapple glass, in this case) with crushed ice. Garnish with a sprinkle of more smoked salt, a charred pineapple wedge, a lime wheel and pineapple leaves. Serve and enjoy!

Style is personal. So why should your cocktail try to copy somebody else’s?
I teamed up with my friends at Ralph Lauren Fragrances to build a cocktail around their Ralph’s Club New York Parfum, and the fragrance did most of the talking. Black currant, cognac, oud wood. That’s basically a drink order.
So we built a Manhattan style sipper with cognac as the base, swapped the sweet vermouth for creme de cassis and a touch of dry vermouth, added a barspoon of absinthe and a few dashes of bitters, then finished it with an expressed lemon twist for brightness. Given the NY roots on this bottle, I’m calling it The State of Mind.
Cheers, y’all!
