  • The liqueurs soften the rather harsh spirits pretty well, though the Smith & Cross is dominant.
  • Based on another comment, I replaced the Smith and Cross with Appleton 12. I found that the drink was good, but I missed what S&C would have brought to the table.

elvisomar commented on 3/15/2024:

This is quite nice. I'm impressed with how well balanced it is, considering the unusual combination of ingredients. The banana (I used Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane) brings the rum into the party with great balance. The Gran Classico brings notes of wood and leather. (I didn't have Smith & Cross, so I split that component 2/3 Wray & Nephew overproof and 1/3 Plantation Xaymaca). I'll have this again, for sure.

Pineapple sunday

3⁄4 oz Pineapple liqueur, Giffard
3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Yuzu juice
3⁄4 oz Orange vermouth, Martini & Rossi Fiero
Instructions

Shake long with a lot of ice, strain in coupe, garnish with a thin cucumber slice floated. Serve.

Notes

Martini fiero is like a vermouth rosato but with more grapefruit notes.
You can maybe add 1/4 grapefruit juice to substitute or grapefruit liqueur or shake the mix with a piece of grapefruit peel.

Nice bitterness and acidity brought front thanks to addition of vermouth.

Pangolindo commented on 8/08/2021:

Tried the recipe today with: Coconut oil fatwashed overproof english harbor (velier), classic Cynar, and 1/3 oz more rum, Gagliardo fernet
Coffee and boulevardier kind of drink, benefits from a long stir and dilution.
4 stars and will do again.

noirbot commented on 3/26/2024:

Didn't have Coconut Rum, so blended Clement Mahina Coco liquor 50/50 with an aged rum, turned out quite nice. It's a good blend of sweet and bitter, and always novel to have a nearly black cocktail as a look.

Shawn C commented on 7/12/2024:

An intriguing presentation (deep dark reddish black/brown with a clear ice sphere passing for setting, smoke haze obscured Sun). To give the full effect: add an orange peel cut and shaped like a sail stuck on a long pick (mast) dropped vertically into the drink. The flavor is rather unique as well, with a bit of coconut, slight sweetness, chocolate, dark root, bitter artichoke leaf, and fernet herbal notes.

  • Quite good. Like a sherry cobbler crossed with a piña colada. Made with straight Coco Lopez and it was not too sweet.
