Ingredients
-
2 oz coconut rum
-
1 oz pineapple juice
-
1 oz orange juice
-
½ oz grenadine (for that sunset swirl)
-
½ oz lime juice
-
Crushed ice
-
Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Optional Add-ins: -
Splash of soda water (for a lighter, fizzy version)

Mint sprig or edible flower (for extra island flair)
Instructions
Step 1: Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz coconut rum, 1 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz orange juice, and ½ oz lime juice. Add a generous amount of crushed ice. Shake well for 10–15 seconds to blend and chill the ingredients.
Step 2: Pour into glass
Fill a tall glass or tiki glass with crushed ice. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Step 3: Add the grenadine
Slowly pour ½ oz grenadine into the drink. It will sink to the bottom and gradually rise, creating a gorgeous ombré effect that looks like a Bahamian sunset. Do not stir if you want to preserve the layered look.
Step 4: Garnish like a pro
Add a pineapple wedge to the rim of the glass and drop a maraschino cherry on top or skewer both together for presentation. Optionally, add a cocktail umbrella or mint sprig for a true tropical vibe.
Step 5: Sip and enjoy
Serve immediately with a straw. Stir slightly if you prefer a more blended flavor or sip as-is to experience the taste shift from tart citrus to sweet grenadine.
Notes
-
Always use fresh lime juice when possible—it adds brightness and balances the sweetness.
-
Shake with crushed ice for better dilution and texture, especially in hot weather.
-
Chill your glass ahead of time to keep the drink cool longer and enhance presentation.
-
Grenadine should be added last and gently for best visual effect—don’t skip this step!
-
Coconut rum adds sweetness, so taste before adding extra sweeteners or syrups.
