- 40 milliliters (1.4 ounces) white rum
- 40 milliliters (1.4 ounces) coconut rum
Fruit and Liquid Components:
- 120 milliliters (4 ounces) pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon grenadine syrup (optional, for color)
Cream and Garnish:

Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker and add pineapple juice, coconut cream, and rum over a handful of ice cubes, then vigorously shake the mixture until it becomes frothy and well-combined.
- Gently pour the shaken liquid into a tall glass, allowing the drink to settle and create a cool base.
- Carefully drizzle grenadine syrup down the interior side of the glass, creating a beautiful gradient effect with pink and orange layers that naturally separate without stirring.

- Serve the chilled cocktail immediately, presenting it as a vibrant and refreshing tropical beverage perfect for warm weather enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap coconut cream for coconut milk to reduce calories and make the cocktail lighter for health-conscious drinkers.
- Use white rum or spiced rum interchangeably to customize the flavor profile and match personal taste preferences.
- Freeze fresh pineapple chunks as an alternative to ice cubes to prevent dilution and add extra tropical intensity to the drink.
- Create a non-alcoholic version by replacing rum with sparkling water or coconut water for a refreshing mocktail option.
