This recipe strips back the complexity to focus on the bold, vibrant contrast between the sweetness of fresh pineapple and the sharp, lingering heat of jalapeños. By soaking these ingredients in tequila, you create a sophisticated flavour profile that is naturally infused and perfect for those who appreciate a clean, punchy bite. It serves as an incredible garnish for a cocktail, a unique dessert topping, or a standalone snack for adventurous palates.
1/2 fresh pineapple, sliced into wedges or thick chunks  2-3 fresh jalapeños, sliced into rounds (keep the seeds for extra heat)  1 cup premium tequila (blanco or reposado)
Pack the fresh pineapple chunks and jalapeño slices into a clean glass jar, layering them to ensure even distribution.
Pour the tequila over the fruit and peppers until they are completely submerged.
Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it steep for at least 24 hours to allow the heat of the jalapeños to penetrate the pineapple.
Once ready, serve the pineapple chunks as a spicy, boozy snack or garnish, and reserve the infused tequila for a uniquely flavoured cocktail.
