Method
Cocktail
Build and shake
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice. Add 1.5 oz Malibu coconut rum, 0.5 oz Blue Curaçao, 2 oz pineapple juice, 2 oz orange juice, and 0.25 oz fresh lime juice (optional). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.
Float dark rum
Carefully pour 0.5 oz dark rum over the back of a spoon held just above the drink's surface so the rum floats on top, creating a layered 'floater' effect.
Garnish & serve
Garnish the glass with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on a pick. Add a cocktail umbrella if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw. Stir before drinking to blend the floater if you prefer a uniform flavor; leave layered for a visual effect and sips that change as you drink.
