Ingredients
-
2 oz amaretto liqueur
-
2 oz coconut rum (like Malibu)
-
4 oz pineapple juice
-
2 oz orange juice
-
1 oz grenadine
-
Ice (for serving)
-
Garnish: Orange slices and maraschino cherries
Instructions
-
Fill two tall glasses about ¾ full with ice. Hurricane glasses work beautifully for that island vibe!
-
In a cocktail shaker, combine the amaretto, coconut rum, pineapple juice, and orange juice.
-
Shake well for 10–15 seconds until everything’s well mixed and chilled.
-
Pour the mixture evenly into the glasses over the ice.
-
Slowly drizzle grenadine into each glass—it’ll sink and create that gorgeous layered “sunset” effect.
-
Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry on top.
-
Serve immediately and soak in those tropical feels!
Notes
-
Make it a party: This recipe scales up perfectly! Mix a batch (minus the grenadine) in a pitcher, then pour and drizzle grenadine into each glass before serving.
-
Mocktail version: Skip the alcohol and use a blend of pineapple juice, orange juice, coconut water, and a splash of almond extract.
-
Want it stronger? Add a float of dark rum on top for a bolder punch and extra depth.
-
Presentation tip: Chill your glasses beforehand for an extra refreshing experience—and to help that sunset gradient really pop!
-
Storage: Mix the base in advance (without grenadine) and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving and add garnishes last.
