For the cocktail (makes 1 cocktail)

2 oz Clean Co. tequila (blanco)

2 oz Fresh pineapple juice

3/4 oz Fresh lime juice

1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)

1 cup Ice (for shaking)

1 each Pineapple wedge or lime wheel (garnish)

For the sugar rim

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 each Lime (for rimming)

Optional / batch adjustments

1/2 cup Fresh pineapple (for juicing if not using bottled)

1 tsp Extra simple syrup (to taste)

Method

Prepare glass and sugar rim

Chill a rocks or coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the drink.

Pour granulated sugar onto a small plate and spread into an even layer.

Run the cut half-lime around the outer rim of the chilled glass to moisten it evenly.

Invert the glass and gently press the moistened rim into the sugar, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Set the glass aside to let the rim set while you mix the cocktail.

Mix the cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker with about 1 cup of ice.

Add 2 oz Clean Co. tequila, 2 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to the shaker.

Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy. (If using fresh pineapple chunks instead of juice, muddle 0.5 cup chopped pineapple in the shaker before adding ice and the other liquids; then shake longer, about 15–20 seconds.)

Dump the ice from the chilled glass if you used ice water. Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared sugar-rimmed glass over fresh ice if desired, or serve neat in a chilled coupe.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a pineapple wedge or lime wheel on the rim.

Taste and adjust: if you prefer sweeter, stir in up to 1 tsp extra simple syrup; if too sweet, add a few drops more lime juice.

Serve immediately.
