Equipment

  • 1 Boston Shaker
  • 1 Bar Jigger
  • 1 Lewis Bag with Mallet and Ice Scoop OR Pebble Ice Mold
  • 1 Citrus Juicer
  • 1 Blender , Juicer, or Ninja
  • 1 Strainer

  • 1 Cocktail Pick optional

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz White Rum
  • 3 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 1 oz Cream of Coconut
  • ¾ oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • ½ oz Dark Rum

Instructions

  • Crush your ice in Lewis Bag with Mallet. If you chose to use an ice mold remove your pebble ice mold from the freezer
  • Add one bar scoop of crushed ice OR pebble ice to your large tin
  • In small tin add your White Rum, Lime Juice, Pineapple Juice, and Cream of coconut. I recommend measuring out your coconut first so all of the other liquids help wash the sticky coconut out of the bar jigger
    (directions on extracting Lime and Pineapple Juice are in blog post)
  • Combine tins and form a seal
  • Whip Shake until you no longer hear ice in your tin ( instructions in blog post )
  • Break the seal on your tins and Dirty Pour all of the contents into your glassware

  • Garnish cocktail with 3 leaves from the crown of the pineapple
