- Combine bourbon, coffee liqueur, pineapple syrup and bitters into a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir until well-combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass with ice and garnish with a spear of pineapple.
Notes
** Pineapple syrup: cut up one small pineapple into small pieces and weigh. Weigh out the same amount of sugar and mix the two. Let sit out on a counter for 6-12 hours, or until the pineapple syrup fills up the bottom of the mixing cup. Strain and store in the fridge. If you add a splash of vodka it will keep for 3-4 weeks. Save the sweetened pineapple chunks to top an ice cream sundae or pancakes.
