If you plan to fire up the grill this weekend, treat yourself and impress your friends with this expensive-tasting, easy-to-make Backyard Swizzle.

Its slightly smoky reposado base anchors a symphony of complex flavors that come together to create the perfect companion to any grilled beef or pork dish. And by simply throwing a few slices of pineapple on the barbie, you’ll instantly raise your game and bring together the flavors to your drink and  ‘cue. A little extra work? Sure. But well worth it. ¡Salud!
