Preparation
Pomegranate-agave cordial: stir 60 ml unsweetened pomegranate juice, 30 ml Sammy agave and 10 ml fresh lime juice until uniform. Chill. This is a fresh grenadine-style preparation with agave instead of added sugar syrup. Make fresh for the session, refrigerate promptly and keep chilled until use.
Make the cocktail
1. Combine the measured ingredients in a shaker with solid ice. Shake briskly for 8 seconds for a fine pineapple froth.
2. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe.
3. Rest one fresh pitted cherry on a short pick across the rim.
