Persephone's Choice

5 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Cognac
1⁄2 oz Grenadine
1⁄2 oz Averna
3⁄4 oz Baijiu, Ming River (or any Strong Aroma Báijiǔ)
Instructions

Shake & strain over a large cube. Garnish with 1 sprig of rosemary, spanked and laid across the cube.

Notes

Rosemary ties the theme to Persephone, and also is used in Averna. Believe it or not, this started as a báijiǔ Cosmo (pomegranate for cranberry). That failed completely, but the pomegranate + strong aroma báijiǔ had enough synergy to keep me workshopping. End result is fussy and many touches, but worth the rejiggering.
