Cocktail

Method

Prepare

1

Chill glass

Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.

2

If using fresh juices, squeeze oranges and pineapple and strain any large pulp. Measure juices and lime juice.

Build the cocktail

3

Fill a cocktail shaker with a generous handful of ice (or to about 2/3 full).

4

Add 2 oz Jumbie Coconut Rum, 2 oz fresh orange juice, 2 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.25 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup (if using) into the shaker.

5

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosty.

6

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or dump out the ice water. Fill the glass about 2/3 with crushed ice or ice cubes.

7

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice, leaving space at the top for the raspberry liqueur 'sunset' layer.

8

Slowly pour 0.5 oz raspberry liqueur over the back of a bar spoon or directly down the inside of the glass so it sinks and creates a layered, sunset effect near the surface.

9

Gently avoid stirring to preserve the layered look. If you prefer a blended drink, stir once to combine.

Garnish and serve

10

Garnish the rim with an orange wheel and a pineapple wedge. Add 3 fresh raspberries and a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick if desired.

11

Serve with a straw and enjoy immediately on a hot day.
