Ingredients
Scale
- 60 ml (2 fl oz) Malibu Rum
- 120 ml (4 fl oz) Pineapple Juice
- 60 ml (2 fl oz) Coconut Cream
- 1 to 1½ cups (240–360 ml) Ice Cubes
- ½ cup (75 g) Fresh Pineapple Chunks (optional)
- 1 tsp Simple Syrup or Sugar (optional)
- Lime Wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
- Measure out 60 ml (2 fl oz) Malibu rum, 120 ml (4 fl oz) pineapple juice, and 60 ml (2 fl oz) coconut cream. Prepare about ½ cup (75 g) fresh pineapple chunks if using.
- Place Malibu rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, ice cubes (1 to 1½ cups or approx. 240-360 ml), and pineapple chunks (if using) into the blender. Add 1 tsp simple syrup or sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until creamy and slightly frothy. Add a splash more pineapple juice or water if too thick.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or rum by adding a little more and blending briefly again if needed.
- Pour into chilled tall glasses and garnish each with a lime wedge and optional pineapple slice or cocktail umbrella.
- Optional: Chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for extra refreshment.
Notes
Use coconut cream instead of coconut milk for a richer texture. Fresh pineapple juice is preferred for best flavor. Pulse ice before blending to avoid blender overheating. Chill glasses for a cooler drink. For a non-alcoholic version, omit Malibu rum and add extra pineapple juice or coconut water.
