Notes
For a frozen version, increase the amount of ice and blend for a bit longer. You can also experiment with different types of rum, such as dark rum, for a richer flavor. If you want a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and enjoy a tasty pineapple coconut smoothie instead. If the drink separates, stir gently before serving.
