Notwithstanding the classic beauty of the margarita, it is time to invent a new cocktail with tequila. Tanteo's jalapeño infused tequila presents an intriguing opportunity. Smooth and spicy. A favorite of ours is this riff on an old fashioned:
1 1/2 oz. Tanteo jalapeño infused tequila
squirt of agave syrup. I would guess 1/2 tsp.
two stopper-fulls of chocolate bitters
shake with ice. Then splash some pineapple syrup in and shake again. Pour over a single big ice cube and serve.
The next stage is to substitute fresh pineapple for the canned juice, and to treat the drink essentially like an old fashioned. muddle the sugar and pineapple and chocolate bitters, add the tequila, shake, serve up or on a single cube. I would also consider muddling the pineapple without agave syrup, depending on relative sweetness of using fresh juice along with pieces.
