Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add Pusser’s Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut into a cocktail shaker. This step ensures the flavors blend smoothly for the perfect tropical base.
- Shake: Gently shake the cocktail shaker to mix all ingredients well without over-diluting.
- Serve Over Ice: Pour the mixed drink over a glass filled with ice to chill and retain freshness.
- Garnish: Lightly dust the top of the drink with freshly grated nutmeg for aroma and flavor. Then, add a pineapple slice on the rim of the glass for an attractive presentation and added tropical flair.
Notes
- Use freshly grated nutmeg instead of pre-ground for best aroma and taste.
- Cream of coconut is different from coconut milk; ensure using sweetened cream of coconut for the authentic creamy texture and sweetness.
- Shake gently to avoid excessive dilution but ensure ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- This cocktail is typically served in a large glass such as a hurricane glass or highball glass.
