These burnt pineapple margaritas are the epitome of “ugly delicious”. I mean, I could have tried to edit the photo to punch the color up a few notches. I could have left out the burnt step to keep the final drink more “inoffensively pastel yellow” than dirty pale brown. But I am unapologetic. This is not one of those websites where you can expect to be suckered into the recipe by how the photo looks, only to be underwhelmed when the flavor isn’t actually there. See, these margs are ALL about the flavor. Even at the expense of how pretty the actual drink is. Trust me, by the time time you’re pouring your third marg, the only thing you’ll be thinking is “why didn’t I make these sooner?”.
Don’t let the “burnt” name throw you. Sure, I could have called them “charred” but it’s literally the burnt brown sugar that adds the depth of flavor. The ratio of char-to-rest-of-drink means you’re just getting awesome not-too-sweet but complex notes, without actually having it taste burnt. I use a broiler to char up my pineapple, but you can use a grill if you prefer. Basically, as long as you’re developing the burnt flavor, you’re golden.
Finally a note on making this recipe your own – these margs might be too strong for some folks, too weak for others. That’s fine – adjust the tequila as needed. You might want more lime, or have them sweeter. Want it to be even thicker and daiquiri like? Add more ice. Go ahead – don’t be shy to tweak the recipe to your liking.
