A basic pineapple margarita contains lime, triple sec, tequila, and pineapple juice. However, for smokier flavors, give it a sea salt rim and swap the tequila with mezcal.

The smoky mezcal will impart a char-like flavor that'll pair beautifully with the tangy sweetness of the pineapple — think of it like boozy, grilled pineapple in a glass.

Meanwhile, the sea salt will stick fast onto the rim and flavor each tangy sip with a savory punch. You can use regular Kosher salt or smoked sea salt for an extra smoky kick.
