Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add white rum, fresh pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, coconut cream, orange liqueur, and simple syrup. Add 4 ice cubes to the shaker.

Dry shake (optional)
For a silkier texture with coconut cream, give the mixture a brisk shake without ice for 10 seconds to emulsify.

Shake with ice
Add the ice cubes if you did a dry shake, or proceed directly, then shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over the crushed ice to remove any large ice shards and pulp. Use a Hawthorne plus fine mesh strainer if available.

Float dark rum
Carefully pour 0.5 oz dark rum over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the drink, creating a layered look and richer aroma.

Garnish and finish
Garnish the cocktail with a pineapple wedge on the rim, a lime wheel, and a maraschino cherry. Lightly grate a pinch of nutmeg over the top if desired. Serve with a straw and a small swizzle stick.
