The old ones are many of the best. Delicious.

Very pleasant, Trader Vic may even have been jealous! I made it with only ~4 ml 1:1 sugar syrup, but I prefer tart over sweet. Orange and pineapple juices are sweet enough that I may even prefer it with no syrup at all. I've only had the one, but am thinking that served on crushed ice may be even better, but perhaps that's my Trader Vic conditioning. And I definitely recommend garnishing with a cherry and pineapple wedge (in the photo, but not the instructions).
