History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2014 by Thad Vogler at bar Trou Normand in San Francisco, California, USA. Thad's original recipe calls for homemade pineapple gum syrup instead of the pineapple juice and syrup combo.

Review

Apple brandy forms the backbone to this tropical fruity delight, made special by a hint of herbal complexity.

The above recipe uses a 2:1 pineapple syrup, so if you use a 1:1 homemade syrup, you'll need 15ml (½oz) to achieve the same balance. When made with commercially available pineapple syrup, this herbal fruity cocktail pops but if you can be faffed to make pineapple gum syrup, then you'll experience more rounded fruitiness.

Delicious cocktail, Calvados gives a really nice backbone. I used 1,5cl pineapple juice and a barspoon rich syrup wich worked well. Personally I think Chartreuse is the preferable joice.
