Pineapple Tequila Recipes

JALAPENO-PINEAPPLE TEQUILA COCKTAILS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup each granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the jalapeno and set aside 15 minutes to infuse the syrup. Remove the jalapeno and discard; set the syrup aside to cool completely.
• Pour the syrup into a blender and add the pineapple and tequila. Blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a pitcher; refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. Moisten the rims of 4 to 6 glasses with lime wedges, then dip in demerara sugar; fill with ice and the cocktail.

TROPIC LIKE IT'S HOT

• Put pineapple in the bottle.
• Combine sugar and tequila, stirring to dissolve sugar.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH TEQUILA-BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Thread pineapple pieces onto 6 skewers, dividing equally. (Tequila mixture and pineapple skewers can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill pineapple until brown, basting with tequila mixture and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes total. Remove pineapple from skewers; serve hot or warm.

PINEAPPLE INFUSED TEQUILA

• Set aside for 1 week in a cool dark place,shaking the jar daily to agitate ingredients and release their flavors.

TEQUILA LIME PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Remove rind from pineapple, core, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Combine tequila, 1 tbl lime juice, and pineapple. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Drain and toss with brown sugar.
• Coat saute pan with canola oil and heat on medium high. Add pineapple slices and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized, about 6 minutes. Dice half of the slices into 1/4 inch pieces. (Refrigerate remaining slices for another use. I would probably not bother marinating half of the slices to begin with).
• Combine the diced pineapple with the remaining lime juice and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Let salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving.
