Cocktail Ingredients
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz dragon fruit syrup
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1.5 oz cream of coconut e.g., Coco López
  • 0.5 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup ice cubes for shaking and serving
  • 1 wedge fresh pineapple for garnish

Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Jigger
  • Highball Glass
  • Cocktail strainer

Method
 

  1. Fill a tall highball glass to the brim with fresh ice cubes and set aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the white rum, dragon fruit syrup, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
  3. Fill the shaker two-thirds full with ice cubes.
  4. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside is frosted and cold to the touch.
  5. Strain the cocktail over the prepared highball glass filled with ice.

Notes

Ensure you are using sweetened cream of coconut (like Coco López), not unsweetened coconut milk. Shake vigorously to properly emulsify the coconut cream.
