Review:

A Pineapple Daiquiri with an added something – a touch of flavoursome ash-aged maraschino liqueur. When garnishing the pineapple may be optional but the cherry is a must-have.

Variant:

Served in an old-fashioned glass over crushed ice (with and additional 2.5ml maraschino liqueur and 2.5ml more sugar syrup).
