Ingredients
Scale
Liquor
- 3 oz amaretto
- 2 oz coconut rum
Juice
- 2 oz pineapple juice
Other
- Ice cubes (enough to fill the glass)
- Orange slice (for garnish)
- Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
- Fill the Glass: Add ice cubes to a rocks or cocktail glass to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Mix the Drink: In a cocktail shaker, combine the amaretto, coconut rum, and pineapple juice. Shake vigorously until the mixture is chilled and slightly frothy, ensuring all flavors blend perfectly.
- Pour & Serve: Strain the chilled drink into your prepared glass over the ice, maintaining a smooth pour without the ice from the shaker.
- Garnish: Add a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry on top to enhance the tropical look and add a citrusy aroma to the cocktail.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness and tropical flavor by varying the amount of pineapple juice to suit your taste.
- Using fresh pineapple juice yields the best flavor, but bottled unsweetened pineapple juice works well too.
- Chilling your glass beforehand will keep the drink colder longer.
- Consider using a cocktail shaker with ice inside for better chilling before straining.
