Ingredients
  

Garnish:
  • 1 Hatch chile
  • 1- in chunks of fresh pineapple
  • Thinly sliced lime circles
  • 1 lime wedge to rub the rim.
  • Rim salt Kosher Salt or Coarse Sea Salt
Margarita:
  • 2 ounce fresh pineapple juice
  • 2 ounce silver tequila
  • 2 ounce orange liqueur such as as Grand Marnier, Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 2 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
  • Ice

Method
 

  1. Slice two¼-inch rings from the hatch chile to use as garnish. Then with the remaining chile, chop enough to make 1 tablespoon. Reserve any leftover chile for later use.
  2. Make the skewered garnish by using 1 lime slice, 1 pineapple slice, and 1 hatch chile ring. Set aside.
  3. Place the rim salt in a shallow plate. Rub the lime wedge over the rim of each glass. Then dip the rims of the glasses into the rim salt. Set aside.
  4. In a shaker, mix the pineapple juice with the chopped chile, and let it rest to infuse for at least 1 minute (the longer the more heat).
  5. Now add in the Tequila, liqueur, lime juice and ice, then shake well. Strain the margarita, dividing into 2 ice-filled glasses. Garnish with a skewer and serve immediately.
