Garnish: Exactly one small pineapple wedge and one small dark cocktail cherry together at the rim

1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear coupe, chill the sparkling wine thoroughly, and prepare exactly one small pineapple wedge and one small dark cocktail cherry.

2. 02

   Measure the cognac, maraschino liqueur, pineapple rum, pineapple juice, rich simple syrup, Creole-style bitters, and optional saline into a shaker; keep the sparkling wine separate.

3. 03

   Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.

4. 04

   Fine-strain the chilled still mixture into the coupe so no pineapple fiber or small ice fragments enter the glass.

5. 05

   Top gently with 15 ml brut sparkling wine and give one careful lift with a bar spoon; never shake the carbonated ingredient.

6. 06

   Set the single small pineapple wedge and single small dark cherry neatly together at the rim and serve while the bubbles remain lively.
