Garnish:
Pineapple wedge
How to make:

| 2 fl oz | Pisco |

| 2 fl oz | Pineapple juice (fresh pressed) |
| 1/2 fl oz | Pink grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1/24 fl oz | Pimento dram liqueur |
Review:
Tangy, fruity and packed with flavour. Clove spice, fragrant floral pisco and elderflower with a hint of sweet pineapple and sour grapefruit.
History:
Created in 2006 by yours truly and amended (thanks to a comment by Donald Draper below) in December 2021 to use 1.25ml pimento dram in place of 2 muddled cloves.
This is a riff on the classic the Pisco Punch which was made famous before Prohibition at San Francisco's legendary Bank Exchange Bar. The wedge-shaped Transamerica Pyramid skyscraper now stands on the site of The Bank Exchange, at the corner of Washington & Montgomery Streets, hence this drink's name and wedge-shaped garnish.
