Ingredients
Essential Ingredients:
- Malibu Rum (2 oz) – The signature coconut rum that provides the tropical base; substitute with any quality coconut rum or regular white rum with coconut extract
- Cream of Coconut (1 oz) – Creates the rich, creamy texture; Coco López is preferred, but any cream of coconut works
- Fresh Pineapple Juice (2 oz) – Provides the primary fruit flavor; fresh-squeezed is ideal, but high-quality canned juice is acceptable
- Fresh Orange Juice (2 oz) – Adds citrus complexity and balances sweetness; always use fresh-squeezed for best results
- Sprite (6 oz) – Creates the signature effervescence; substitute with 7-Up, club soda with simple syrup, or ginger ale for variation
Garnish Options:
- Fresh pineapple wedge
- Maraschino cherry
- Orange wheel
- Coconut flakes (toasted)
- Lime wheel for extra citrus accent
