Instructions

Step 1: Rim a chilled coupe glass with sugar: Place 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar on a small plate, rub the glass rim with a lemon wedge, then dip into sugar to coat evenly.
Step 2: In a shaker filled with ice, combine 2 ounces Cognac, 1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur, 3 ounces pineapple juice, and 2 dashes creole bitters. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly foamy.
Step 3: Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice, ensuring the foam transfers to the glass. Gently stir once to integrate the foam without deflating it.
