A splash of pineapple juice fine-tuned with some lemon brightens sotol, a spirit with yeasty character and chamomile flavor. Pineapple is a reliable ingredient for most Mexican spirits. The drink is easy to assemble and the recipe can be doubled or even increased to a pitcherful for a party. If you plan on including agave drinks in your repertory, it pays to have agave syrup on hand for the most felicitous sweetener.
