Garnish: Exactly one very small peeled pineapple wedge and one small dark-red cocktail cherry together on one short plain pick

1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear coupe and place exactly one very small peeled pineapple wedge with one small dark-red cocktail cherry on a short plain pick.

2. 02

   Measure 45 ml bourbon, 20 ml cherry liqueur, 15 ml orange curaçao, 15 ml sweet vermouth, 15 ml pineapple juice, and one dash each of cardamom and Creole bitters into a shaker.

3. 03

   Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and seal it firmly.

4. 04

   Shake hard for 10–12 seconds until the rich fruit-and-whiskey mixture is thoroughly chilled and integrated.

5. 05

   Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so the surface remains smooth and free of ice fragments.

6. 06

   Rest the single compact pineapple-and-cherry pick at the rim and serve without citrus, herbs, or another garnish.
