Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 2 ounces (59 ml) Malibu Coconut Rum
Juices and Liqueurs:
- 4 ounces (118 ml) pineapple juice
- 1 ounce (30 ml) blue curacao
- 1 ounce (30 ml) grenadine
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 ounce (30 ml) water
- Crushed ice
Instructions
- Establish the foundation by elegantly pouring vibrant grenadine into a hurricane glass, creating a rich crimson base that promises a visual feast.
- Generously fill the vessel with crushed or small ice cubes, which will stabilize the layered cocktail and provide optimal temperature.
- Craft the tropical middle layer by blending pineapple juice and Malibu Coconut Rum in a separate container, ensuring a harmonious tropical flavor profile.
- Carefully cascade the pineapple and coconut rum mixture into the glass, allowing it to gently settle atop the crimson grenadine without disturbing the initial layer.
- Prepare the azure top layer by combining blue curaçao with water, creating a mesmerizing oceanic liquid.
- Execute a precise pouring technique using the back of a spoon to delicately float the blue curaçao, allowing it to rest elegantly on the yellow stratum without merging.
- Elevate the visual presentation by adorning the glass rim with a citrus slice – preferably a vibrant orange or zesty lemon – signaling the cocktail’s tropical essence.
- Serve immediately, presenting a stunning three-tiered tropical paradise that captures both visual drama and complex flavor dimensions.
Notes
- Layering requires patience and a steady hand to create perfect, distinct color bands without mixing.
- Use the back of a spoon when pouring each layer to achieve clean, sharp color separations by gently dispersing liquid along the spoon’s surface.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to help maintain layer definition and prevent unwanted blending during preparation.
- Adjust rum quantities for lighter or stronger versions based on personal preference, keeping the visual appeal intact.
