- 4 or 5 pieces Fresh Pineapple (to grill)

- 2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 Cup Pineapple Juice
- 1/4 Cup Chilled sparkling water/Club soda
- 2 Tsp Agave/Simple syrup (optional)

Instructions
LET'S GRILL THE PINEAPPLE
- Cut pineapple into 3-inch squares or triangles.
- Heat up a cast iron grill pan on the stove. Brush pan with vegetable oil. Place pineapple slices on the pan and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
LET'S CUT THE JALAPENOS
- First, cut the stem off the jalapeno. Slice the jalapeno in half and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and membrane. Cut into slices
LET'S RIM THE COCKTAIL GLASSES
- In a bowl or plate, add some chili salt
- Cut a lemon or lime and run the lemon wedge around the rim of your cocktail glass. Immediately holding the cocktail glass upside-down by the base, dip the entire rim into the chili salt, so that the crystals stick to the outside of the glass.

- Pour into the cocktail glasses (leaving some space on top). Top with club soda or sparkling water, and Garnish with some jalapeno and grilled pineapples. Enjoy!!
Notes
NOTE: You can make your chili salt by adding 1/2 tsp chili powder to 1 tbsp table salt. Give it a good mix.
NOTE: If you like it a tad spicy, then don't discard the seeds from the jalapeno.
NOTE: If you have leftover grilled pineapples, enjoy that with some vanilla ice-cream
