Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 oz dark rum

  • 4 oz pineapple juice

  • 1 oz orange juice

  • 1 oz cream of coconut

  • Ice cubes

  • Freshly grated nutmeg (for garnish)

  • Pineapple wedge (for garnish)


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Chill your glass
Pop a hurricane glass or tiki glass in the freezer while you mix the drink. This helps keep the cocktail cold and creamy.
Step 2: Add all ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour 2 oz dark rum, 4 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz orange juice, and 1 oz cream of coconut.
Step 3: Shake it up
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend the creamy and citrusy layers into a smooth mixture.
Step 4: Pour over ice
Fill your chilled glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail over it.
Step 5: Garnish and serve
Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg over the top. Add a pineapple wedge on the rim and serve with a straw or stir stick.

Notes

  • Dark rum is key—Pusser’s Rum is traditional, but any rich, aged rum will work

  • Cream of coconut (like Coco Lopez) is different from coconut milk—it’s sweet and thick

  • Shake well to fully emulsify the coconut cream and blend the drink evenly

  • Always use fresh nutmeg if possible—it makes a big difference in aroma and flavor

  • Use crushed or pebble ice if you want a beach-bar texture
