We’re in the throes of a triple digit heat wave here in LA but I’m not bothered at all. It’s an excellent excuse to whip up a batch of this sweet and spicy cocktail.

This Pineapple Serrano Margarita combines sweet and spice for perfect refreshment
Brad and I discovered this margarita while celebrating our seventh wedding anniversary in San Miguel de Allende earlier this year. It’s a breathtakingly beautiful town just a few hours outside Mexico City known for it’s culinary scene.

The food and views did not disappoint and I’ll be sharing more recipes from that trip in coming posts.

This particular recipe, however, cannot wait. You need to make it now.

Pineapple Serrano Margarita combines sweet and spice for perfect refreshment
We’ve long been fans of a spicy margarita and jalapeno is heavily featured in our go-to house recipe. I would normally be nervous about bumping up the heat with serranos but the sweetness of the pineapple juice balances the spice beautifully and makes for a dangerously delicious cocktail.

    If you want it on the spicy side, just muddle the serano in the bottom of the glass before adding the other ingredients. And whatever you do, wash your hands right after making. You don’t want serrano pith in your eyes!
