Ingredients

For the drink:
2 1/2 ounces dark rum
1 to 2 teaspoons roasted pineapple syrup (start with 1 tsp take a tiny taste and add another if you'd like it sweeter)
2 dashes Angostura bitters (I also like it with Bittercube Jamaican #1 bitters)
For the roasted pineapple syrup:
1 ripe pineapple
2 1/2 cups sugar

Directions

1

Stir all ingredients with ice until just chilled, then strain into a double rocks glass over a large ice cube.
2

Preheat the oven to 400° F. To make pineapple syrup, peel the pineapple, quarter it, and slice it into 1-inch chunks. Spread the pineapple pieces on a baking pan and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, until deep yellow and juicy, with brown spots starting to appear.

Transfer to a large cooking pot and add the sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain, then keep the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
