Ingredients:
  • 120 ml (4 fl oz) pineapple juice
  • 60 ml (2 fl oz) coconut cream
  • 90 ml (3 fl oz) white rum
  • 2 cups of ice
  • Pineapple slices and maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Method:

1. Prep Your Ingredients:
  • Ensure your pineapple juice is chilled for an extra refreshing touch.
  • For the best consistency, use full-fat coconut cream. Light versions may affect the creaminess of your cocktail.

2. Blend It Up:
  • In a blender, combine the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and white rum.
  • Add the ice gradually to prevent overfilling and better blending.
  • Blend for 30-40 seconds or until smooth and frothy. Pro tip: Pulsing a few times before continuous blending can help achieve a smoother texture.

3. Serve:
  • Pour the delicious concoction into chilled cocktail glasses.
  • Garnish with a slice of pineapple and a bright maraschino cherry for that classic look.

4. Tainted Cork Twist!
  • For a distinctly Tainted Cork flair, drizzle a dash of Bundaberg Rum on top after pouring. It adds a rich aroma and a smooth finish.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Frozen Pineapple: Swap ice cubes for frozen pineapple chunks for a more flavourful and thicker drink.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the rum with additional pineapple juice and a splash of coconut water for a delicious mocktail.
