Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Put the sugar and warm water in a cocktail shaker and stir until the sugar fully dissolves.

2. Add the pineapple chunk to the shaker and muddle it gently until it breaks down and releases its juice.

3. Add the Angostura bitters, rye whiskey (or bourbon) and cherry liqueur to the shaker.

4. Fill the shaker with ice, cover it and shake hard for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

5. Double strain the mixture into a chilled glass, keeping out the ice and pineapple pieces.

6. Slowly pour the Champagne or sparkling white wine over the top so it floats on the drink without stirring.

7. Hold the lemon peel skin side down over the glass, squeeze to release the oils onto the surface, then drop it in or set it on the rim as garnish.
