Cocktail Base

Garnish & Ice

Method

Prepare & Shake

1

Build the drink

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with cubed ice (about 1 cup). Add 1 oz coconut rum, 1 oz light rum, and 0.5 oz banana liqueur to the shaker. Pour in 2 oz orange juice and 2 oz pineapple juice.

2

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold and the juices are well integrated and slightly frothy.

Glass & Finish

3

Prepare serving glass

Fill a highball or hurricane glass with fresh ice (if not using crushed, fill about three-quarters full).

4

Strain

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice.

5

Add grenadine

Slowly drizzle 0.5 tsp grenadine down the inside of the glass so it sinks toward the bottom and creates a 'sunrise' gradient.

6

Top with soda

Gently add 1 oz (a splash) of Sprite (or lemon-lime soda) on top to add effervescence. Do not stir vigorously — leave the layered effect if possible.

7

Garnish & serve

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on a pick. Optionally add a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw.
