Ingredients
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz cranberry juice
1 ½ oz coconut rum
½ oz blue curaçao
½ oz grenadine syrup
Ice cubes
Pineapple slices & cherries for garnish
1 oz club soda (optional for a fizzy touch)
½ oz fresh lime juice (for added tartness)
Instructions
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Add pineapple juice, coconut rum, blue curaçao, and lime juice. Stir gently.
Slowly pour cranberry juice and grenadine on top for a layered purple effect—don’t stir.
Optional: Add a splash of club soda and gently tilt the glass to blend slightly.
Garnish with pineapple slices and cherries. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
Notes
For the best color effect, make sure to pour the cranberry juice and grenadine slowly over the back of a spoon. This helps create that beautiful layered “purple rain” look without mixing too much. Use fresh lime juice for extra zing, and if you’re serving a crowd, you can easily multiply the recipe in a pitcher—just add the soda last to keep it fizzy!
