Print Recipe

This creamy coconut pineapple dark rum painkiller is a rich, refreshing tropical cocktail that delivers a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Made with real cream of coconut, fresh pineapple juice, and dark rum, it’s like a mini vacation in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz dark rum (preferably Demerara or aged, like Gosling’s Black Seal or Myers’s)
  • 4 oz fresh pineapple juice
  • 2 oz cream of coconut (such as Coco López or Coco Real)
  • 2 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Freshly grated nutmeg for garnish
  • Pineapple wedge for garnish
  • Maraschino cherry for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedge for rimming glass (optional)
  • Toasted coconut flakes for rimming glass (optional)

Instructions

  1. Juice the pineapple and orange. You’ll need 4 oz of pineapple juice (about 1/4 of a small pineapple) and 2 oz of orange juice (from about half a large orange). Strain if desired.
  2. Add the dark rum, fresh pineapple juice, fresh orange juice, cream of coconut, and crushed ice to a blender jar in that order.
  3. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, slushy consistency.
  4. Check the consistency: it should be thick enough to mound slightly when poured. If too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice or water and pulse. If too thin, add more ice and blend briefly.
  5. Optional: Rim glasses with a lime wedge and dip in toasted coconut flakes.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly between two glasses.
  7. Grate a generous amount of fresh nutmeg over the top of each drink. Add a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry to the rim.
  8. Serve immediately while still cold and slushy.

Notes

Use crushed ice for a smooth slushy texture. Don’t over-blend or the drink will become watery. Fresh nutmeg is essential for authentic flavor. For a spicy twist, muddle 2-3 slices of fresh jalapeño before blending. For a frozen version, swap crushed ice for 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; re-blend with fresh ice to restore texture.
