Instructions
- Fill a blender with the prepared ingredients, ensuring a balanced mix of tropical flavors.
- Pulse the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the texture becomes velvety and uniform, with no visible chunks.
- Select a chilled cocktail glass and gently pour the blended concoction, allowing it to cascade smoothly along the interior.

- Serve immediately while the beverage maintains its frosty, creamy consistency, inviting guests to savor the refreshing essence of a Caribbean-inspired libation.
Notes
- Opt for frozen pineapple chunks to create an extra frosty and thick texture without watering down the drink.
- Swap traditional rum with coconut rum for an intensified tropical flavor profile that enhances the overall taste experience.
- Consider using a non-alcoholic version by replacing rum with coconut water or additional pineapple juice for a family-friendly mocktail option.
- Chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer and create a more refreshing tropical sensation.
