Hotel Nacional Special

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Chill a cocktail coupe in advance to ensure optimal serving temperature.

Prepare a garnish by cutting a small wedge of pineapple or lime.

In a shaker, combine the light gold rum, Luxardo Apricot Albicocca Liqueur, pineapple juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, and rich sugar syrup. If desired, add the optional agricole blanc rhum, Daiquiri Bitters, and saline solution or a pinch of salt.

Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled coupe glass to achieve a silky texture.

Garnish the cocktail with the prepared pineapple or lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
