Mezcal, pineapple & chile cocktail
Smoky mezcal, grassy aged rum, grilled pineapple, dry vermouth, lime and a restrained chile finish. Smoke, pineapple and chile want acid and chill, not a second sweet mixer. The cocktail is the pairing. Keep a pineapple-lime agua in the same glass for anyone not drinking.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 1 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

Batch everything except the lime one day ahead, cold. Lime at the pour — a mixed leftover does not keep.
- Mezcal1 oz
- Aged agricole rum0.8 oz
- Dry vermouth0.5 oz
- Grilled-pineapple cordial0.5 oz

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.
Quick, short on ingredients, no oven. Keep it in reserve.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
