Method
Cocktail
Prepare shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice.
Combine ingredients
Add Hennessy VS, Bacardi Spiced, Wray & Nephew, falernum, fresh pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, orange juice, simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into the shaker.
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted, proper dilution will occur from the ice.
Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture over the crushed ice (use a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer) so the drink sits well in the crushed ice and is free of pulp.
Float (optional)
If desired, carefully float an extra 1/4 oz Wray & Nephew over the top by pouring over the back of a bar spoon for a spicy overproof aroma and show.
Garnish & Finish
Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint and a dehydrated pineapple wheel or fresh wedge stuck into the ice. Lightly grate nutmeg over the top if using (a little goes a long way).
Serve with a short straw and present immediately so the crushed ice and aromatics remain fresh.
