I don’t know if you’ve noticed but spicy food has really been making it’s presence known in the last few years. One of the places that the heat wasn’t as prevalent was in mixology and cocktails. That’s all changed though! Sweet and spicy is a classic combination that’s showcased in this Spicy Verde cocktail.
Combining the sweet flavor of fresh pineapple juice with the spicy kick of habanero might just be what the doctor ordered to end summer on a high note. Even better, this Spicy Verde is so quick and easy to make.

There’s not really any special tools or equipment you need to make this cocktail. Just a jigger if you don’t trust yourself measuring. This adult beverage does look beautiful in a highball glass, though. These fluted highball glasses are kind of unique and interesting. It would also be tasty with a pineapple wedge for garnish.
