Instructions
-
Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
-
Prepare pineapple by removing the crown (reserve fronds) and discarding the base slice; cut the pineapple in half through the core.
-
Slice the halves into 1/4-inch half-moons and brush both sides with honey.
-
Grill the pineapple slices for about 4 minutes per side until lightly charred.
-
Cool the grilled pineapple, then cut each half-moon into three wedges, reserving one wedge per cocktail for garnish.
-
Remove the skin from two pineapple wedges per cocktail and muddle them in a Collins glass.
-
Fill the glass with crushed ice, then add the herbal liqueur, lime juice, and falernum.
-
Swizzle the mixture until the glass frosts, then top with more crushed ice.
-
Garnish with cinnamon, the reserved grilled pineapple wedge, fronds, and optionally a lime wheel or edible flower.
