Scale

- ¼ ounce simple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ½ ounce grenadine
- Ice
Garnish:
- Pineapple wedge
- Maraschino cherry
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice to keep the drink chilled and maintain the layered effect.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine coconut rum, dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice (if using), and coffee liqueur (if using). Shake well.
- Slowly strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.
- Carefully pour grenadine into the drink, tilting the glass slightly so it settles at the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient.

- Serve immediately and enjoy this tropical delight!
Notes
- For the best layered effect, pour the grenadine slowly and avoid stirring after adding it.
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by modifying the grenadine and simple syrup.
- Fresh juices make a noticeable difference in flavor—use them if possible!
- A clear glass showcases the vibrant colors best, so skip the opaque cups.
- Want a non-alcoholic version? Skip the rum and coffee liqueur and replace them with extra pineapple and orange juice for a delicious tropical mocktail.
