Ingredients

  • ½ shot dark rum
  • ½ shot white rum
  • ½ shot triple sec
  • 1 splash orange curaçao
  • 1 tsp grenadine syrup
  • pineapple juice*
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Put the pineapple juice in a blender and blend until it becomes pale and creamy.
  2. Fill a tall cocktail glass with ice cubes until it’s about ¾ full.
  3. Add the dark rum, white rum, triple sec, and orange curaçao.
  4. Pour the blended pineapple juice over the top.
  5. Add the grenadine syrup and serve.

Recipe Notes

*The thicker the pineapple juice is, the creamier it turns once blended, and the final drink looks better because the layers stay separate. Mine was on the watery side compared to the one I tried in Bora Bora, yet it still tasted amazing.
