1
Grill the Pineapple
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cut the fresh pineapple into rings or wedges. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Coat the pineapple pieces with the sugar mixture.
2
Cook the Pineapple
Place the coated pineapple on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized. Remove from grill and let cool.
3
Smash the Pineapple
Once cooled, chop the grilled pineapple into small pieces and mash lightly with a fork. Set aside.

4
Prepare the Glass
Rub the rim of a glass with a lime wedge to moisten it. Dip the rim into Tajín seasoning to coat it evenly.
5
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and agave syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
6
Assemble the Drink
Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Spoon the smashed grilled pineapple on top of the margarita.
