  • Used Marie Duffau Napoleon Bas Armagnac. Bunnahabhain Ceobanach for scotch. Rittenhouse Rye Pechudes is slightly too strong. Maybe 3 instead of 4 shakes for two drinks. — ★★★★★

Maybe...?

1 oz Bourbon
1 oz Fernet Jelínek
1⁄2 oz Pineapple syrup
1⁄8 t Citric acid
2 ds Bitters (Trader Joe's Hat Trick Spicy Bitters)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Stir acid into syrup until dissolved. Add booze & ice. Stir, strain, rocks.

Notes

The Trader Joe's Hat Trick bitters were a 3-pack I found around X-mas 2016; rumor has it they were just a seasonal one-off. The "Spicy" flavor has strong coconutty-clove notes, and contribute greatly to the drink's profile. Sub the "cloviest" bitters you have if you can't find them.

J.S-g. commented on 10/20/2017:

Tried it with amontillado from El Maestro Sierra instead of manzanilla. Nice. Really nice. 

Bird in Flight

1 1⁄2 oz Pineapple rum, Plantation Stiggins' Fancy
1⁄2 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
1⁄2 oz Campari (coffee infused)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
Instructions

Shake, strain into a old fashioned glass. Garnish with a lime wheel or twist, pineapple frond or wedge, cherry, etc.

Notes

For the coffee infused Campari, infuse .5oz / 1 tbsp of coffee beans for every 250ml of Campari for 4 hours. Alternately use a barspoon of high quality coffee liqueur. If you want to amp up the pineapple flavor a bit, use pineapple gum syrup instead of demerara (Liber & Co's pineapple gum syrup, with it's carmelized pineapple notes, makes for a nice twist).

History

Inspiration was having a hankering for a Jungle Bird cocktail and being too lazy to go to the store to snag a pineapple and then juice it. I love coffee flavors in tiki drinks, such as the Krakatoa, Mr. Bali Hai, Black Magic, etc., so worked a bit of that in, resulting in a drier, darker tinged drink than the original Jungle Bird.
