De Nada Cantina:
Spicy Pineapple Cocktail

Naturally, most diners might gravitate toward the standard margarita, but De Nada Cantina’s signature Spicy Pineapple cocktail is a fantastic reason to step outside the Tex-Mex box. The spicy drink comes in a picture-perfect pineapple-shaped glass and is a flawless concoction of Oaxacan-sourced Producer Mezcal, Ancho Reyes Verde chile-flavored liqueur, fresh pineapple, and spicy lime juice. At the top of the drink, a homemade chamoy sauce carefully seeps to the bottom of the glass. The secret to just the right amount of picante? A sly drop of El Yucateco Chile Habanero Hot Sauce. Pair this specialty drink with De Nada’s renowned barbacoa tacos. The slow braised beef cheek is infused with just a touch of coffee, giving a unique flavor to this classic combo. Read more about De Nada here…
