These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

???? 2 oz Malibu Coconut Rum – smooth and sweet with tropical coconut flavor
???? 2 oz pineapple juice – bright and juicy, brings a sweet tang
???? 1 oz cranberry juice – adds a tart contrast and rosy hue
???? 0.5 oz fresh lime juice – for citrusy balance and brightness
???? Splash of orange liqueur or triple sec (optional) – adds complexity and zesty kick
???? Ice cubes – to shake or build over
???? Pineapple wedge or wheel – for garnish
???? Maraschino cherry – for garnish
???? Optional coconut flakes or sugar rim – for a dressed-up glass

Step 1:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add Malibu rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and orange liqueur (if using).

Step 2:
Shake well for about 10–15 seconds until chilled.

Step 3:
Fill a highball or hurricane glass with fresh ice.

Step 4:
Pour the cranberry juice into the glass first to create a beautiful base layer.

Step 5:
Slowly strain the shaken pineapple-coconut mix over the back of a spoon onto the cranberry. This allows a layered effect to form.

Step 6:
Garnish with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and optionally a sugared rim or coconut flakes for flair.
