Ingredients

0.25 cup white sugar
1 lime, halved, or more to taste
0.25 pineapple, cut into wedges
ice
1 fluid ounce gold rum
0.5 fluid ounce silver rum
0.5 fluid ounce triple sec
0.5 fluid ounce orgeat almond syrup

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
Place sugar in a shallow dish. Dip the lime halves in sugar to coat them evenly.
Grill the lime and pineapple wedges, turning occasionally, until they are lightly browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly.
Fill a cocktail shaker and an Old Fashioned glass with ice.
Squeeze 1/2 fluid ounce of lime juice and 1 fluid ounce of pineapple juice into the shaker. Add the gold rum, silver rum, triple sec, and orgeat syrup. Cover and shake well until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with a grilled pineapple wedge.
