A Stone Sour is usually a sour cocktail with orange juice, and Dale DeGroff replaced the orange juice with pineapple juice in this "tropical" riff on a...
Had this again with a California Bourbon which added a slight spicy (savoury; not hot) touch to the after taste. Left out the syrup to make the final cocktail dryer. Wonderful. Getting elevated up to my favourite cocktails.
A really delicious tiki drink, I especially like the bourbon backbone. Pineapple works very well with the bourbon and lemon. I used allspice dram in place of the pimento bitters (not available locally, and $20/5 oz on Amazon) - I didn't really make much of an impact (maybe the bitters are worth it?)
Macerated a chunk of pineapple in the shaker for extra fruit, used half lemon/half lime juice and orgeat instead of syrup. No DeGroff bitters but I do have homemade, unsweetened pimento dram so used a tsp of that instead. Did somebody say Tiki?!
I used orgeat syrup instead of sugar as recommended, upped the lime juice to 25 ml and the pineapple juice to 30 ml.
Great drink, quite dangerous too, as it goes down super easy.
