Hello friends! Tonight I have a strange split-base cocktail that oddly works. The gin and the rum play well together, with the gin slightly outpacing the rum on my palate with a bit of a juniper note. The apricot and cherry brandies give a bit of sweetness and the pineapple juice makes for a surprisingly bright cocktail. I enjoyed this one, and it's worth checking out. Cheers!

Editor's Note

A bold split-base of gin and rum meets stone fruit brandies in this potent, spirit-forward sipper. A touch of pineapple adds a bright, tropical finish.
