Strawberry Margarita & Pineapple Ice
Summer 2021
There’s little that’s new in a juicy Strawberry Margarita, unless you serve it with a gorgeous salted and peppered pineapple ice cube. The musky flavour of pepper works with both the strawberries in the drink and the pineapple juice in the cube. If you have spherical ice moulds, now available pretty much everywhere, you’re halfway there. If not, don’t sweat it—make a tray of 12 or so regular-size pine apple cubes, and serve each drink with two.

Shake and fine strain into a margarita or rocks glass over a single Salted Pineapple & Pepper Ice (recipe follows).

SALTED PINEAPPLE & PEPPER ICE
Spherical ice moulds come in a variety of forms, sizes and sphere counts per piece. Start by filling all of your moulds with water, then emptying that water into a measuring cup. Take note of how much liquid you need to fill your spheres, then fill that measure with a 1:1 mixture of pineapple juice to water. For each mould you are filling, add a pinch each of salt and a pepper. Fill and freeze overnight.
