I had some not very sweet pineapple, so I added a few drops of syrup and upped the pimento dram a bit. Used grapefruit bitters instead of juice since I have to strictly limit intake of grapefruit. Overall, quite good.

Made use of some homemade Pimento Dram - the pisco and elderflower liquor goes very well together; pineapple and the dram add a lingering tangyness.

Love the mouthfeel of the shaken pineapple foam. Not to mention the great taste of this concoction. Indeed, as John suggests, this one gets better and better.

Very nice flavours but too sweet for my taste. I will try reducing the elderflower liqueur and increasing the grapefruit juice.

I love Pisco (born in Peru) and I always try any cocktail that has Pisco. Really enjoyed this cocktail. Very refreshing. I also love Allspice (Pimento) dram, but it got lost a little bit in this one. May try tweaking up the Pimento dram a bit. Will have to make this for my dad, who gave me his Pisco Sour recipe.

Absolutely perfect for a warm afternoon cooler or with a light luncheon. It is slightly sweet, but you would expect that for a punch. This is a cocktail that get better as it sits, breathes, and the ice melts. Perfect to the end.

We were going to make two, but only has Pisco for one. Did the other one using gin and it was wonderful aslo.

Caravedo Puro Quebranta for pisco. No pimento dram on hand; instead, 1/2 t Falernum #9 sans lime (to extend shelf-life)+ 1/4 t lime juice (to make up for missing). Giffards, not St-Germain. Frozen fresh pineapple juice (> fresh juice for reasons). 2/3 oz water to dilute bc no shake ice used or needed. Serve: footed pilsner glass with ice.
Verdict = I approve & methinks so would Beachbum Berry.

How about to use Pimento Dram in place of the cloves?

Pimento dram does indeed work very well and it's surprising how little you need - only 1.25 to 2.5ml depending on tastes. Many thanks for the suggestion, I've amended the recipe above accordingly.

I use a half shot of Falernum in place of the cloves, a tad sweeter but tasty nonetheless. Will be trying with Bob's Falernum next.

Crowd pleaser with an interesting kick. I recommend grounding the cloves in a mortar, and finestrain after shaking.

Once again, what a wonderful website. After I made a Beverly Hills Hotel cocktail on New Year's Day, my wife asked for the same tonight. As is my wont, I looked for a variation on the theme and found the Pyramid Punch. Without all the ingredients, I substituted cachaça for pisco and grapefruit/orange for pineapple/grapefruit and added a splash of organic blue agave syrup. Another winner. Gotta pick up some pisco and pineapple to give the original recipe a try someday.

Thanks for your kind words. I must try your riff with cachaça.
