Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 2 ounces (59 ml) Malibu Coconut Rum
Juices and Liqueurs:
- 4 ounces (118 ml) pineapple juice
- 1 ounce (30 ml) grenadine
- 1 ounce (30 ml) blue curacao
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 ounce (30 ml) water
- Crushed ice
Instructions
- Prepare the hurricane glass by pouring grenadine into the bottom, creating a vibrant red foundation.
- Fill the glass completely with crushed or small ice cubes, ensuring even distribution.
- In a separate mixing vessel, blend pineapple juice and Malibu Coconut Rum until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully cascade the pineapple-rum mixture over the back of a spoon, allowing it to gently settle above the grenadine layer, forming a distinct yellow stratum.
- Create the blue layer by whisking blue curaçao with water in a separate container until well integrated.
- Position a spoon vertically against the glass interior and delicately stream the blue curaçao mixture over the spoon’s curved surface, allowing it to float atop the previous layers without mixing.
- Enhance the cocktail’s visual appeal by adorning the glass rim with a fresh citrus slice, selecting either a zesty lemon or bright orange segment.
Notes
- Carefully layer each ingredient by pouring slowly down the back of a spoon to prevent mixing and maintain distinct color separation.
- Use chilled ingredients and glasses to keep the cocktail refreshingly cool and prevent premature blending of layers.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with coconut water and blue curaçao with blue sports drink or blue food coloring mixed with clear soda.
- Choose fresh, high-quality pineapple juice for a more vibrant tropical flavor and brighter yellow layer in the cocktail.
