The Tequila Pineapple Mojito is an exotic variation of the famous Cuban Mojito, reinvented with blanco tequila and pineapple juice. Fresh mint, lime, and sugar provide their usual freshness, but the tropical flavors of pineapple and the Mexican touch of tequila make this a unique and refreshing recipe.

• 5 cl of blanco tequila
• 6 cl of pineapple juice
• 2 cl of lime juice
• 1.5 cl of cane sugar syrup
• 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
• 6 cl of sparkling water (or more to taste)
• Ice cubes or crushed ice
• Garnish: mint leaves, pineapple chunk, lime slice

1. In a large glass, gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar syrup and lime juice.
2. Add the blanco tequila and pineapple juice, then fill with ice cubes or crushed ice.
3. Stir gently with a bar spoon to release the mint aromas.
4. Top with well-chilled sparkling water.
5. Garnish with a chunk of pineapple, a lime slice, and a mint leaf.

- Replace sparkling water with a dash of ginger beer for a spicier version.
- Add some fresh pineapple chunks to the bottom of the glass for more texture.
- Serve in a large tumbler or tiki glass for an exotic presentation.
