El Gallito (Pineapple-Chipotle Pitcher Cocktail) Recipe
- 25 fresh cilantro stems, with leaves
- 2 scallions, top third of greens removed
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 8 ounces (240ml) fresh lime juice
- 5 ounces (150ml) water
- 4 ounces (120ml) undiluted agave nectar
- 1 ounce (30ml) adobo sauce from canned chipotles
- Pinch kosher salt
- About 24 ounces (720ml) vodka (see note)
- 12 cocktail picks, each with 1 cherry tomato half, for garnish
- Slice cilantro and scallions into 3-inch segments, then add to a blender along with tomatoes, pineapple, lime juice, water, agave nectar, adobo sauce, and salt. Process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup. (You can reserve the solids to make into a salsa, if desired.)
- Measure the liquid mix (it should yield about 24 ounces) and pour into a 2-quart pitcher or resealable container along with an equal volume of vodka. If not serving right away, refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, stir mixture well, then add 1 1/2 cups ice to pitcher and give it another gentle stir. Pour into ice-filled rocks glasses and garnish each one with a speared cherry tomato half.
