Subtle clove spice sits brilliantly with pineapple juice fruitiness and the grainy funk of new-make spirit

Cocktail is excellent (tried on a late Winter/early Spring sunny day and it worked like a charm) but the choice of glass might need reviewing: I think it would work better in a double old-fashioned/tiki glass with ½ the amount of ice.
