Reduce heat and cook 3 hours, or until a caramel-like consistency is achieved. Remove from heat and strain liquid into a shallow, wide tray. Heat and prepare a smoker with desired wood. Smoke syrup 90 minutes. Strain, bottle, and refrigerate.

In a mixing glass, add all ingredients and ½ ounce Smoked Pineapple Gomme. Strain into a double old fashioned glass with a reserved pineapple skin-topped ice cube. Place green Chartreuse into an atomizer. Spray through a lit match and singe the top of the pineapple skin.
