golden pineapple

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded at work, Old Grand-Dad Bonded at home)
1/2 oz Plantation Pineapple Rum
1/2 oz Honey Syrup 1:1
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/8 oz Demerara Syrup
2 dash Mole Bitters (Bittermens at work, Angostura Cocoa at home)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.Two Thursdays at Drink, I came up with Gold Rush variation for a guest by subbing out part of the Bourbon for pineapple rum and chocolate bitters. When I got home, I wanted to sink into the drink more than the straw taste that I had at work and made one for myself. I ended up dubbing it the Golden Pineapple since the Pickwick Papers as a tribute to the Dicken's novel that mentioned pineapple rum did not seem as appealing of a name. Here, the Golden Pineapple welcomed the senses with honey, lemon, tropical, and Bourbon aromas. Next, lemon and honey on the sip turned into Bourbon and pineapple flavors on the swallow.
