Method
Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add the Liquids
Pour in the Xicaru Silver Mezcal, pineapple juice, and orange juice into the shaker over the muddled mint.
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the mixture.
Strain
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with ice, straining out the mint leaves.
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
