Verdita

A vibrant Mexican herb and pineapple chaser, traditionally served alongside tequila shots.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or pasteurized pineapple juice
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• ½ bunch fresh mint, leaves only
• 1–2 jalapeños, roughly chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• ½ teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Combine pineapple juice, cilantro, mint, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a blender.
2. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and vibrant green.
3. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing the solids to extract all the liquid.
4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Keeps for up to 4 days.
5. Serve in a shot glass alongside a shot of blanco tequila — drink the verdita first, then the tequila.
