About
This cocktail was created by Frederic Yarm (@fredericyarm) and is named after the Les Baxter exotica track. Yarm remade it in 2025 for a Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum competition, swapping the original old-fashioned serve with a Nick and Nora and specifying Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac. Pineapple rum and cognac provide a rich, tropical backbone, Cynar and coffee liqueur add depth and bittersweet complexity, and mole bitters round out the layers with subtle spice.Cheers y’all!
