Method
Prepare Cocktail
- 1
Measure Ingredients
Chill a rocks glass or coupe briefly. In a cocktail shaker combine 2 oz dark rum, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange curaçao, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 1 oz fresh pineapple juice.

Add Ice and Bitters
Add 4–6 large ice cubes to the shaker (or crushed ice if you prefer a more diluted, slushy texture). Add 2 dashes of angostura bitters into the shaker to add aromatic depth.
- 3
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and the outside frosts. If you used crushed ice, shake 8–10 seconds to avoid over-dilution.
Serve & Garnish
- 4
Fill the chilled rocks glass or coupe with the crushed ice (about 1 cup). Fine-strain or double-strain the cocktail from the shaker over the prepared ice to remove any small shards of ice and citrus pulp.
- 5
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and a pineapple leaf or small wedge tucked into the ice. Optionally add one more tiny dash of angostura bitters on the top of the foam or surface for aroma.
- 6
Serve with a short stirring straw. Enjoy immediately while cold.
