Piña Jengibre

About

Mezcal and sweet pineapple are a natural combination while ginger gives a spicy depth that pairs well with the smoky mezcal. The combination of pineapple, ginger, and pleasant smokiness brings to mind a fermented Mexican pineapple drink called tepache de piña, a popular street vendor option in Mexico made from fermented pineapple rinds and spices.
