  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 oz vanilla vodka

  • 1 oz coconut rum

  • 1 oz pineapple juice

  • ½ oz heavy cream

  • ½ oz marshmallow syrup

  • Ice for shaking

  • Optional: edible glitter or pastel sprinkles for garnish

Optional Add-ins:

  • ½ oz white chocolate liqueur (for richness)

  • 1 oz half-and-half instead of cream (for a lighter touch)

  • 1 drop pink or purple food coloring (for dreamy visuals)

  • Marshmallow fluff for rim

  • Toasted mini marshmallows on a skewer for garnish


Instructions

Preparation Chill and prep your glass

Step 1: Frost your glass (optional)
If you’d like a sweet presentation, run marshmallow fluff or simple syrup along the rim of a coupe or martini glass and dip it into pastel sprinkles or sugar. Chill the glass in the freezer while preparing the cocktail.

Shake the magic

Step 2: Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz vanilla vodka, 1 oz coconut rum, 1 oz pineapple juice, ½ oz heavy cream, and ½ oz marshmallow syrup. Add a handful of ice.

Step 3: Shake well
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This mixes the creamy components and chills the drink thoroughly for a silky-smooth finish.

Strain and garnish

Step 4: Strain into your glass
Strain into your chilled, rimmed glass. The drink will have a soft pastel tone and a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 5: Add final sparkle
Top with a pinch of edible glitter, pastel sprinkles, or a mini marshmallow skewer. Serve immediately and enjoy the whimsical vibes!

Notes

  • Marshmallow syrup is often found in coffee aisles or online—substitute vanilla syrup and a pinch of powdered sugar if needed.

  • Don’t skip the shake—this ensures the cream emulsifies with the juices and spirits, making the drink smooth and luscious.

  • Coconut rum adds subtle sweetness and tropical notes that balance the rich cream and syrup.

  • For presentation, serve in a clear coupe or martini glass to showcase the soft pastel color and garnishes.

  • Cream can be swapped with half-and-half or dairy-free alternatives like oat milk or coconut cream.
