I don’t really drink. In fact, my inability and lack of desire to drink is somewhat of a continuous joke around here. I used to tolerate alcohol very well, even though I was never much of a partier. Now I’m too old to party but that’s besides the point. However, my roommate is somewhat of an expert and he came with a backlog of wine and spirits and I’m trying to learn to appreciate it. I know there’s a lot to be learned and it can complement food so well, so here we are at my first bloggable cocktail.

Why isn’t this more popular? The spicy salt rim is the ideal complement to the tropical pineapple flavour. Tart and sweet; so refreshing.

Spicy Salt Rim

2 tablespoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon coriander

Mix together on a saucer and set aside.

Pineapple Puree

Makes 2 cups

1 small, ripe pineapple, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup agave nectar

In a high-powered blender or food processor, pulse pineapple and agave nectar until completely smooth. Set aside and get out your shakers.

To make 1 margarita

1.5 oz white tequila
1/2 oz Cointreau
1 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (I used one juicy lime)
1/4 cup pineapple puree
1 3/4 cup ice
Lime, mango and pineapple wedges, for garnish

Run a lime wedge over the edge of your glass and rim it with the salt. Combine all ingredients in a shaker and shake until that satisfying cold reaches your hands. Pour into the rimmed glass and garnish as you wish. Relax.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
