Ingredients
Scale
- Hard candy, crushed into small pieces (bright colors like red, orange, or pink)
- 4 oz pineapple juice
- 2 oz mango juice
- 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 oz white rum (or substitute with vodka)
- Splash of grenadine

Instructions
- Crush the hard candy into fine pieces using a blender, food processor, or zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Pour the crushed candy onto a small plate.
- Pour a small amount of water or lime juice onto another plate. Dip the rim of your glass into the liquid, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Immediately dip the moistened glass rim into the crushed candy, rotating gently to cover it completely. Let it sit for a minute to adhere.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine pineapple juice, mango juice, lime juice, white rum, and a splash of grenadine.
- Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake thoroughly for about 30 seconds until cold and well mixed.
- Fill your candy-rimmed glass with ice, then pour the cocktail mixture over the ice. Garnish with a slice of pineapple or lime wedge if desired.
