FRUIT JUICE Pineapple and orange juice add a great citrusy tropical flavor with a splash of grenadine for color. Even lemon or lime juice can be added for a touch of sour tang.

GARNISH An orange slice and a maraschino cherry are the original garnish for this drink, but try making fancy pineapple stir sticks, or get imaginative with toasted coconut flakes! Lemon or lime slices on the rim of the glass are also a possibility.

  • Add coconut rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, dark rum, and Kahlua to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until chilled.

  • Strain into a glass filled with ice and slowly pour in the grenadine and top with club soda.

  • Garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry and drink as is or stir.

If you would prefer a non-layered look, you can add the grenadine directly to the shaker with the other ingredients.
Do not add club soda to the shaker since it’s carbonated.
½ ounce of lemon juice may be added to the drink for a more vibrant cocktail.
