Pineapple Heaven

Cocktail by @carolinaverbena. I love fresh pineapple and eat as many of them as I can in the summer. But I hate how much waste there is when you peel them. So I poured the last of my bottle of mezcal into a large jar, filled it up with fresh pineapple rind, and let it sit for a week. The result? Pineapple heaven. Smoky, sweet, tropical. It was exactly what I had in mind for this easy mezcal pineapple sip

• 1 oz fresh lime juice
