Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 x 12 ounce container frozen orange juice
- 1 x 12 ounce container frozen pineapple juice
- 1 x 17 ounce can coconut water (or 2 cups plain water)
- 6 ounces white rum
- 6 ounces coconut rum
- 6 ounces grenadine
Flavoring and Extras
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 2 cups ice
- Pineapple slices and cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Juice and Rums: Add the frozen orange juice, frozen pineapple juice, coconut water (or plain water), white rum, coconut rum, and coconut extract into the pitcher of a blender. Blend these ingredients together until the mixture is perfectly smooth and combined.
- Add Ice and Blend: Next, add the ice to the blender. Blend the mixture again until the ice is fully crushed and the smoothie has a thick, icy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended smoothie into glasses. Carefully drizzle about one ounce of grenadine down the side of each glass to create a beautiful layered effect. Garnish each glass with a pineapple slice and a cherry if desired, then serve immediately for a refreshing tropical treat.
Notes
- The grenadine is added last to create a layered, visually appealing drink; avoid blending it to preserve the effect.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rums for a delicious tropical smoothie.
- Use frozen juice concentrates for a thicker and colder smoothie consistency.
- Adjust the amount of ice to achieve your preferred thickness.
- For extra tropical flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice or a handful of fresh pineapple chunks.
