Recipe: Grilled Pineapple + Jalapeño Margaritas

Ingredients

Cut a fresh pineapple into ½ inch thick rings and cut a small jalapeño in half lengthwise, deseeding it.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the pineapple rings and jalapeño halves for about five minutes per side until charred.
Chill the grilled pineapple and jalapeño for at least thirty minutes, then cut the pineapple into chunks and the jalapeño into smaller pieces.
Set aside two pineapple chunks for rimming the glasses and garnish.
Blend the jalapeño pieces and grilled pineapple chunks with agave syrup until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the strained mixture, lime juice, orange liqueur, and tequila, then shake vigorously.
Combine the sugar, sea salt, cayenne, and chili powder on a small plate and mix well.
Use a pineapple chunk to rim each glass in the spice mix.
Divide the cocktail mixture between the prepared glasses and garnish with sliced jalapeño and grilled pineapple.
