Step 1: Chill Your Tools

Pop your glass in the freezer or fill it with ice to chill. Cold glasses enhance texture and sweetness perception.

Step 2: Build the Cocktail

In a mixing glass with ice, combine rum, orange liqueur, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, coconut cream, and lime juice. Stir gently for about 15–20 seconds to chill and blend the textures without over-dilution.

Step 3: Strain into Glass

Dump out the ice in your chilled glass. Strain the mixture into the glass over fresh ice to preserve clarity and chill.

Step 4: Garnish with Flair

Thread a pineapple wedge crusted in optional toasted coconut, slide it onto the rim. Add a mint sprig on the side. Optional extras: lime wheel or edible flower.

Step 5: Serve & Savor

Hand it to your guest—or yourself—with a straw and a confident smile. Sip slowly—this is a moment, not just a drink.

Flavor Chemistry & Texture Magic

• Light rum lends a mild sugarcane flavor with gentle tropical warmth.

• Orange liqueur deepens citrus notes and adds smooth sweetness.

• Mango juice offers lush fruitiness and pulp—soft velvety mouthfeel.

• Pineapple juice brings clean acidity and tropical brightness.

• Passion fruit juice cuts through sweetness with enthralling tang.
