#Pro Tips from Baza

** Elevate with Mezcal ** For an adventurous twist, substitute silver tequila with Mezcal. The smoky depth of Mezcal contrasts beautifully with the bright, tropical notes of pineapple and the fresh kick of cilantro, creating a cocktail that's both complex and refreshing.

** Balance is Key ** When preparing your cilantro syrup, taste as you go. The goal is a harmonious balance between sweet, tart, and herbal notes. This ensures that no single flavor overpowers the others, making for a more enjoyable drinking experience.

** Chill Your Glassware ** A chilled glass not only adds a touch of sophistication but also keeps your Margarita cooler for longer. Simply pop your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before prepping. This little touch makes a big difference, especially on warm evenings.

There you have it, a Pineapple Cilantro Margarita with a twist only Baza could brew. Cheers to your next tropical escape, no passport required!
