Watch on Small Screen: http://bit.ly/18A4ZuO Adding herbs to cocktails is nothing new. Herbs enhance and augment flavors inherent in many base spirits. They are especially apt ingredients in cocktails using gin and tequila. The Pineapple Arugula Smash Cocktail uses the peppery and vegetal arugula as a main ingredient as it plays extremely well with similar flavors Charlotte finds in the Select Barrel Silver Tequila from Milagro. *Remember, great cocktails start with measuring responsibly* Recipe: 4 or 5 chunks of fresh pineapple 3/4 part simple syrup 3/4 part fresh lime juice 1 1/2 parts Milagro Select Barrel Silver Tequila: http://bit.ly/1aJ3cV2 (buy now on Caskers) 5 or 6 leaves of arugula (more for garnish) Instructions: Muddle pineapple and simple syrup in your mixing glass to release juices from the fruit.
