A strong, stirred drink built on brandy and sweet vermouth, with pineapple rum adding a fruity sweetness. Becherovka and Black Balsams bring herbal, spiced bitterness, and the Angostura ties it together.

The drink traces back to a weekend with a close friend in the south of France, where the friend's Ukrainian spouse kept black balsam and Becherovka in the liquor cabinet. Both were new to the creator.
