Ingredients

2 oz 60ml Malibu coconut rum
4 oz 120ml pineapple juice
Ice cubes

Optional garnishes: pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry

Instructions

Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
Pour 2 oz of Malibu coconut rum over the ice.
Add 4 oz of pineapple juice.

Stir gently with a spoon for 10-15 seconds to combine and chill.
Add garnishes if desired.

Notes

The drink can be shaken in a cocktail shaker for a frothier texture.

For best results, use cold pineapple juice and fresh ice.

The ratio can be adjusted to taste. Use more rum for a stronger drink or more juice for a milder one.

Store-bought or fresh pineapple juice both work well. Fresh juice makes a more vibrant drink.
