Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or coupe-style cocktail glass in the freezer or by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz house-infused pineapple rum, 1 oz coconut purée, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz pineapple juice (optional for extra balance), 0.25 oz simple syrup (if you prefer sweeter), and 1 dash Angostura bitters.

3

Dry shake (optional)

If your coconut purée is thick, first dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and create a silky texture.

4

Shake with ice

Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

5

Strain

Dump the ice from your chilled glass, then double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any coconut solids.

6

Float Burgundy

Carefully pour 0.5 oz Burgundy (red wine) over the back of a bar spoon held just above the cocktail's surface so the wine floats as a thin, aromatic layer on top.

Garnish & Finish

7

Garnish the cocktail with a pineapple wedge or wheel on the rim and a lime wheel laid on the wine float. Optionally sprinkle a scant 1/4 tablespoon of grated toasted coconut on the lime or across the wine float for aroma and visual contrast.

8

Serve immediately. Encourage the drinker to take an initial sip through the wine float to experience the interplay between the tropical coconut-pineapple base and the tannic, berry notes from the Burgundy.
