Grilled Pineapple Cocktail
Smoky Pineapple Paloma
Smoke en el Asador. Sol en el Vaso.
This one tastes like summer stayed late and learned a little swagger. Juicy grilled pineapple comes in bright and loud, chilled out by fresh grapefruit and lime, then finished with a soft hit of smoke that lingers like the last song at the carne asada. It’s refreshing, a little smoky, and perfectly balanced, fino enough for golden hour, real enough for tacos at midnight. Sip it slow or clink it loud. Either way, it’s pure Pocho energy in a glass. Pa’ dentro.

Made to Drink With
Straight From the Grill
Al pastor tacos
The smoky sweetness in the drink mirrors the spit-roasted pork and ties the whole table together.
Grilled chicken thighs with citrus marinade
Char, juice, and a little bite. The Paloma keeps it fresh and light.
Carne asada with grilled cebollitas
Smoke meets smoke. The grapefruit and soda cut through the richness like a squeeze of lime at the right moment.
Crunchy AND Salty
Chips with roasted salsa or pineapple salsa
Simple, snackable, dangerous because you won’t stop pouring.
Chicharrones with lime and hot sauce
Salty crunch + bubbly citrus = pure joy.
Tostadas topped with refried beans, shredded lettuce, crema, and queso fresco
Crisp, creamy, salty, and satisfying. The bubbles and citrus in the Paloma cut through the richness.
Sweet Heat Energy
Pineapple-glazed wings or ribs
Sticky, smoky, messy. The Paloma is doing clean-up duty.
Spicy sausages or hot links
Backyard vibes, folding chairs, music a little too loud.
Grilled pork chops with chile-lime glaze
Juicy, smoky, a little sticky. The pineapple sweetness hugs the pork while the grapefruit and bubbles keep every bite feeling fresh.
Unexpected but Perfect
Hawaiian-style pizza
Sweet, salty, controversial, and absolutely right with this drink.
Grilled cheese with a little chile honey
Comfort food, upgraded. The citrus keeps it from getting heavy.
Breakfast-for-dinner tacos with chorizo, eggs, and potatoes
Savory, slightly greasy, deeply comforting. The Paloma cuts through like a bright morning after a long night.
The Only Spanish You Really Need at Happy Hour
Say it loud, say it proud: Pa’ Arriba, Pa’ Abajo, Pa’ Centro, Pa’ Dentro. It’s not just a toast – it’s a full-body experience. Hands up, hands down, to the center, then pa’ dentro – like taking a shot with your entire soul.
It’s how Pochos bless every pour. A little bit ritual, a little bit relajo, and 100% cultura. Whether you’re sipping neat with abuelita or clinking glasses at the carne asada, this is the way we raise a glass: with flavor, familia, and puro corazón.
Grilled Pineapple
Every sip brings backyard energy, late-night laughs, and just enough smoothness to keep the party going hasta que salga el sol.
