Time 17m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup coconut shavings, unsweetened
5 oz coconut cream
5 oz granulated sugar
4 oz medium pineapple chunks
½ oz pineapple juice
2 oz toasted coconut syrup
¾ cup coconut rum
¾ oz white rum
8 oz crushed ice
¾ oz blue curaçao
1 pineapple leaf, for garnish
½ teaspoon coconut shavings, for garnish
½ teaspoon brown sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the toasted coconut syrup: Toast the coconut shavings in a small pot over low heat until light brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the coconut cream and granulated sugar to the pot. Increase the heat to medium and stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. The mixture will look opaque. Strain the syrup into a glass jar, discarding the coconut shavings. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with the lid and chill the syrup in the refrigerator overnight. The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Make the cocktail: Add the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, toasted coconut syrup, the coconut rum, white rum, and ice to a blender and blend until creamy.
  • Fill a chilled hurricane glass with the blue curaçao. Carefully pour the frozen mixture into the glass so it sits on top of the blue curaçao .
  • Garnish with the pineapple leaf, coconut shavings, and brown sugar.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pool: Consider the size, shape, and depth of the pool to suit your needs and preferences.
  • Prepare the Pool Site: Ensure the area is level, has proper drainage, and is free from obstructions.
  • Excavate and Install the Pool: Hire a professional for excavation and installation to ensure proper construction.
  • Add Plumbing and Filtration System: Install pipes, pumps, and filters to maintain clean and clear pool water.
  • Finish the Pool Surface: Choose a pool surface material like plaster, tile, or fiberglass that suits your aesthetic and budget.
  • Install Safety Features: Add ladders, handrails, and covers to ensure the safety of swimmers.
  • Maintain the Pool: Regularly clean, balance chemicals, and maintain the pool equipment to keep it in top condition.
