Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups pineapple juice Use 100% juice for the best bright flavor.
  • 1 cup coconut rum Malibu or any coconut-flavored rum works great.
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda Sprite or 7-Up for that fizzy lift.
  • Fresh pineapple slices For garnish and a pretty pitcher.
  • Ice Lots of it.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pitcher, combine the pineapple juice and coconut rum. Pour slowly and give it a little swirl.
  2. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
  4. Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda and stir gently so you don’t flat out the fizz.
  5. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh pineapple slices.

Notes

Use cold pineapple juice and chilled rum if possible to speed up the chilling step. If you like a less-sweet drink, substitute half the lemon-lime soda with club soda. For a stronger coconut flavor, float a splash of coconut cream on top of each glass.
