Drink Ingredients
- 1.5 ounces rum (white rum recommended)
- 3 ounces coconut cream (e.g., CocoReal brand)
- 6 ounces pineapple juice
- 3 ounces chocolate sauce (plus extra for decorating the glass)
- 2 cups ice
Garnish
- 1 piece pineapple
- 1 cherry
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, chocolate sauce, and ice into the canister of a high-speed blender.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the ice is fully crushed for the perfect texture.
- Decorate the Glass: Drizzle additional chocolate sauce inside the glass walls to create an attractive pattern. For easier drizzling, chill the chocolate sauce beforehand and use a squeeze bottle or a ziplock bag with a small tip cut off.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended mixture into the decorated glass and garnish with a piece of pineapple and cherry on the rim or floating on top. Optionally, add a floating shot of dark rum for an extra kick.
Notes
- CocoReal coconut cream can be found in the mixer aisle of most grocery stores.
- Chilling the chocolate sauce before decorating makes it easier to drizzle smoothly and creates a cleaner design.
- Use a squeeze bottle or a ziplock bag with a small cut tip for better control when decorating the glass.
- For a stronger drink, add a floating shot of dark rum on top after blending.
- To make a non-alcoholic version (mocktail), simply omit the rum.
