Happy Cocktail Friday y’all! I kind of feel like due to the name of this drink, that it should have some cool theme music to go with it, or it should be a professional wrestler or something, you know, in my world where drinks can be members of the WWE (I’m weird, sorry).
Anyways, aside from the fact that this drink has kind of a weird name, it is most certainly accurate. This drink is so tasty and strong smooth you will certainly not be feeling any pain/stress after you drink it (I’m not implying alcohol solves problems y’all) but it is so delicious & fruity it’s easy to drink. The only thing I will recommend when making this, is just make sure you’re not putting the cream of coconut
into your drink in anything but 100% liquid form otherwise it will ball up in your drink which totally happened to me, so if you need to zap it in the microwave, feel free to (run on sentences for days y’all). Anyways, it’s so Friday and so time to start the weekend this afternoon, I hope everyone has a wonderful & safe weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!
Rum (Jack Sparrow would be proud)…
pineapple juice…
orange juice (doesn’t have to have banana in it, but it was yummy)…
cream of coconut (see what I mean about it balling up)…
and enjoy!!!
- 4 Ounces of Rum.
- 2 Ounces of Cream of Coconut.
- 8 Ounces of Pineapple Juice.
- 4 Ounces of Orange Juice w/or Without Banana.
- About 1-2 Ounces of Maraschino Cherry Juice.
- Sweetened Coconut Flakes for Garnish (Optional).
- If you want to garnish your glasses with the coconut flakes, place honey around the edges of your glasses and dip into the coconut flakes to cover.
- I recommend slightly warming up your cream of coconut to make sure it mixes in well.
- Place your rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and orange juice into a large glass and mix together well.
- Now evenly fill both of your glasses with your drink, and pour about an ounce (or more) of the maraschino juice into each glass or until the bottom of your glasses are red in color.
- Garnish your glasses with a cherry in the bottom of each if you like and enjoy!
- I only had orange juice with banana at my disposal, which tasted awesome in this drink but plain orange juice is still great.

Holly,
I’ve found that if you stir the rum and cream of coconut together before adding the other ingredients you won’t get the dreaded clump. No microwaving needed.
