A rum-based tiki riff with a bitter, herbal backbone, this drink balances tropical brightness against the mentholated intensity of Fernet Branca. Pineapple and lime provide the expected island sweetness and acidity, while dark crème de cacao adds a subtle chocolate undertone that bridges the gap between fruit and bitter. The result is a cocktail that drinks like a holiday party in warmer latitudes—familiar enough to be festive, complex enough to reward a second sip.
