Tropical Sazzy

A tropical riff on the classic Sazerac, this cocktail trades the traditional rye for a split base of funky Jamaican rum and cognac. The pineapple notes and pot-still character of the rum push against the grape brandy's warmth, while falernum adds a subtle spiced sweetness. The signature anise rinse and bitters remain, grounding the drink in its New Orleans roots even as it drifts toward the Caribbean.
