- 3 oz 90ml pineapple juice
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple slice or cherry optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a shaker: Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker.
- Add the ingredients: Pour in the 151-proof rum, Malibu coconut rum, and pineapple juice.

- Garnish: Add a pineapple slice or cherry for a tropical touch.

Notes
- Strength warning: The 151-proof rum is very high in alcohol content, so drink responsibly and in moderation.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup or more pineapple juice.
- Mocktail version: Omit the rum and use coconut water and pineapple juice for a non-alcoholic version.
- Serving size: This recipe makes one drink, but you can scale it up for a pitcher to serve a crowd.
