2 1/2 oz Planteray Pineapple Rum
1 oz Cinzano Sweet Vermouth (Giacomo Speroni)
3 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a pineapple leaf-cherry flag (cherry only).Two Saturdays ago, I found a set of online recipe flashcards for Kanaloa in Houston, and the simple yet strong Pineapple Manhattan called out to me as a nightcap. An October 2018 article in the Houston Press mentioned this Palmetto riff as being part of the opening menu. My mixology skills here yielded a caramel, dark rum, and caramelized pineapple aroma. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip sailed into dark rum, herbal, pineapple, allspice, and clove flavors on the swallow.
