why don't you do right

1 oz Pineapple Rum (Planteray)
1 oz Cognac (Monnet VSOP)
1/2 oz Cynar
1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur (Mr. Black)
2 dash Mole Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.After writing up the Palisades, I got inspired by its Cynar-coffee liqueur combination. I combined that duo with the Cognac-pineapple rum split base from my Big Spender, and I kept the Peggy Lee song title theme going by dubbing the result the Why Don't You Do Right. One critique I faced on the name on Instagram was "The drink sounds great, but in the song all the fellow has to offer is a glass of gin. What a louse!", but otherwise, several folks have since tried this one out, liked it, and posted about it which has led to a second wave of users making it and tagging me in their posts. Once prepared, the Why Don't You Do Right proffered orange, caramel, pineapple, and coffee aromas to the nose. Next, caramel and roast notes on the sip slid into Cognac and coffee flavors on the swallow with a pineapple and roast finish. The choice of coffee liqueur here might require some tweaking as perhaps a half barspoon of Demerara syrup could supplement Mr. Black's drier profile, and softer coffee liqueurs might allow the other beautiful components shine through more. But overall, the combination of coffee and pineapple has generally been a success whether in the classic Mr. Bali Hai or in more modern ones like Moe Isaza's Bacardi Legacy drink, the Poderoso.
