Ingredients

• 50 ml White rum
• 40 ml cream of coconut (sweetened) or coconut cream
• 100 ml Pineapple juice
• 1 tsp fresh lime juice (optional)
• 1 piece pineapple wedge, to garnish (optional)
• 240 ml Ice

Method

1. Put the rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice and lime juice (if using) in a blender with the ice.
2. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until smooth and thick, with no ice chunks left.
3. Taste: unsweetened coconut cream may need 1–2 tsp sugar or syrup, blended in quickly.
4. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with the pineapple wedge.

Tips

• Sweetened cream of coconut gives the classic flavour; if you use plain coconut cream, add a little syrup.
• Halve the rum and add more pineapple juice for a lighter drink.
