I was surprised how much I liked this given no real 🍉 got closer to my taste buds than the rim of the glass! I used G.E. Massenet's liqueur d' Ananas-Coco as I don't have pure pineapple liqueur. I used slightly less Agave too.

I did a something like that but it was 2oz mezcal, 1 1/2 oz pineapple juice, 3/4 oz of watermelon syrup, 1/2 oz of lime. Garnish with watermelon gummies. The smokier mezcal works better for me.
