Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the glass
Start by selecting a tall cocktail glass or a hurricane glass to serve your Pineapple Coconut Cream Cocktail. If you prefer a frozen version, you can use a blender and a large glass for serving. Fill the glass with crushed ice to keep your drink chilled.

Step 2: Mix the ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the coconut cream, pineapple juice, white rum, and lime juice. The lime juice adds a subtle tang that balances out the sweetness of the coconut and pineapple, giving the cocktail a perfect level of acidity. If you’re using coconut rum, it will enhance the coconut flavor for a richer tropical taste. Secure the lid tightly on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to combine all the ingredients and chill the mixture.

Step 3: Pour and serve
Once the ingredients are well mixed, strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over the crushed ice. Make sure to strain carefully to remove any small chunks of coconut cream that may not have dissolved. The result should be a smooth, creamy cocktail with a perfectly blended texture.

Step 4: Garnish
For a finishing touch, garnish the drink with a fresh pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on top. This adds a pop of color and a fun tropical vibe to your cocktail. You can also serve the cocktail with a decorative cocktail umbrella for a more festive look.
