Base & Fruit

Ice & Garnish

Method

Prepare Base & Fruit

  1. 1

    Blend

    Add the white rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, fresh pineapple chunks, and fresh lime juice to a blender. Add the crushed ice. Blend on high for 8–12 seconds until smooth and slushy but still slightly textured.

  2. 2

    If you prefer a smoother texture, blend an additional 4–6 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness: add a touch more cream of coconut (0.25–0.5 oz) if you want it sweeter and richer.

Assemble & Blush

  1. 3

    Pour the blended mixture into a chilled Collins or hurricane glass, leaving about 1.5 inches (3–4 cm) of space at the top.

  2. 4

    Pour the raspberry puree (or grenadine) slowly down one side of the glass so it sinks and creates a layered 'blushing' effect through the slushy base. You can also drizzle it over the top and gently stir once for a marbled look.

Finish & Garnish

  1. 5

    Top gently with the club soda to add a light fizz. Spoon or pack a little extra crushed ice on top if needed to fill the glass.

  2. 6

    Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim, a lime wheel tucked into the top, and three fresh raspberries skewered or floated. Add a mint sprig for aroma, if using.

  3. 7

    Serve immediately with a straw and a cocktail spoon; encourage guests to stir to distribute the raspberry blush as they drink.
