Recipe here was intriguing enough to warrant some experimentation. I feel like it was too awash in pineapple (Lakeland brand, 26g sugar per serving, no added sugar). 50-20-40 resulted in better expression of the flavors. A scant splash of lemon juice brightened things up, but I would not go overboard with acid. Use just enough (5 ml?) to wake it up.

I would say I'm pleased with myself on the adjustments here, but that ain't nothing new... More of note that this is a sort of weird cocktail to have Laphroaig be a winner in.

60-20-30-5, 3 drops saline. There it is.

Really enjoyed this but really you ain’t going to ruin a malt with this! I was curious but won’t revisit although it was not unpleasant x

Agree. Its an okay cocktail but there are better things to do with 1 1/2 shots of Laphroaig.
