Roasted Pineapple

Honey Ginger Syrup

Cocktail Mixture

Method

Roasting the Pineapple

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pineapple

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick slices and remove the core.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pineapple

    In a bowl, combine the pineapple slices with Milagro tequila and brown sugar. Ensure each slice is well-coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Pineapple

    Place the marinated pineapple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until caramelized, turning halfway through.

Making Honey Ginger Syrup

  1. 4

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine honey, fresh ginger (sliced), and water.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 6

    Strain the Syrup

    Once cooled, strain the syrup to remove ginger pieces and set aside.

Mixing the Cocktail

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a shaker, combine roasted pineapple (cut into smaller pieces), pineapple juice, lime juice, and honey ginger syrup.

  2. 8

    Shake

    Add ice cubes to the shaker. Shake well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Strain the mixture into a glass and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.
