courting disaster

1 oz Zacapa Rum (Privateer Navy Yard)
1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Pineapple Syrup
1/4 oz Maple Syrup (Pure BS Maple Shack)

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a pineapple wedge (orange twist). Two Sundays ago, I returned to online recipe flashcards for Teardrop Lounge in Portland and became inspired by the Courting Disaster from the "Friends" section of their menu. The drink was mentioned in a Yelp review in 2013, but I was not able to identify what bar or bartender it originated from. The rum, pineapple syrup, curaçao, and citrus combination reminded me of my Daiquiri-like Painkiller riff Old Painless is Waiting, so I got to mixing. Here, the Courting Disaster gave forth an orange and aged rum aroma. Next, maple, lemon, and orange notes on the sip slid into rum, maple, and pineapple flavors on the swallow.
