Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare and combine
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Add 1.5 oz light rum, 0.5 oz coconut rum, 2 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup and 1 dash Angostura bitters to the shaker.

Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

Strain and layer blue curaçao
Fill a chilled Collins or highball glass with fresh ice. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass. Slowly pour 0.5 oz blue curaçao over the back of a spoon held just above the drink's surface so it sinks slightly and creates a gentle blue layer/swash.

Finish
Give the drink a very gentle stir (one or two slow turns) if you want a soft gradient rather than distinct layers. Taste and adjust: add a teaspoon more simple syrup if you prefer sweeter, or a few drops more lime juice for brighter acidity.
Garnish
- 5
Skewer the pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry (or place them on the rim) and float or nest the lime wheel on the rim. Serve with a straw.
