Preparation

Combine aguardiente, allspice dram, pineapple liqueur, cinnamon syrup, fresh pineapple juice, lemon juice, and light ice in a shaker. Shake until the ice dissolves. Pour into a hurricane glass. Top with more ice and aromatic bitters. Garnish with a pineapple slice and pineapple fronds.

For cinnamon syrup, toast 5 cinnamon sticks on medium heat until fragrant. Add 1:1 simple syrup and water. Bring to a boil to infuse. Strain all solids. Cool before using.

For pineapple liqueur, if unavailable, substitute with aguardiente and pineapple juice.
