Review:

Even when made with commercially available pineapple syrup and juice, this herbal, fruity, apple brandy-laced cocktail pops. If you can be faffed to make pineapple gum syrup, then you'll experience more rounded fruitiness. The above recipe uses a 2:1 pineapple syrup, so if you use a 1:1 homemade syrup, you'll need 15ml (½oz) to achieve the same balance.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2014 by Thad Vogler at bar Trou Normand in San Francisco, California, USA. Thad's original recipe calls for homemade pineapple gum syrup instead of the pineapple juice and syrup combo.
