The bitters are crucial in balancing this after-dinner brandy and pineapple cocktail

I did not use a homemade pineapple syrup (just muddled a chunk of pineapple with some sugar and added a little bit of sugar syrup). Was good, with a nice pineapple hum, but not great. I did use a French Grape Brandy. Maybe a real Cognac may make it 5 stars.

As Mr Difford suggests you can ring the changes with different fruit syrups (and bitters). We thought it was delicious with passionfruit syrup instead of pineapple.

Thanks for the tip. Used passion fruit syrup also. It was great.

Just made this with what I had on hand - aged brandy, Grand Marnier, and basic simple syrup - and it's delicious. Possibly the tastiest cocktail with pineapple juice that I've had. Definitely making this again!
