2 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce blue curaçao
1 ounce cream of coconut
1 cup crushed ice
Pineapple slice (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Place the light rum, pineapple juice, blue curaçao, cream of coconut, and crushed ice into a blender.
Step 2: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Pour the cocktail into a chilled glass and garnish with a slice of pineapple or a cocktail umbrella if desired.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger drink, increase the amount of light rum slightly, but blend well to maintain smoothness.
Substitute cream of coconut with coconut milk for a lighter, less sweet version.
Add a splash of fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors and balance the sweetness.
Try garnishing with a maraschino cherry or fresh mint leaves for extra flair.

Storage

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture. Because it contains crushed ice, it should not be stored for later. If you need to prepare in advance, blend the liquid ingredients and chill separately; add ice and blend just before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen pineapple instead of pineapple juice?

Yes, you can substitute frozen pineapple chunks for pineapple juice to add more texture and natural sweetness, but you may need to adjust the amount of ice accordingly.

What is cream of coconut, and can I make it at home?

Cream of coconut is a sweet, thick coconut product used in tropical drinks. It’s different from coconut cream or coconut milk, as it includes added sugar. Homemade versions are possible but often less sweet and smoother than store-bought.
