Rainbow Paradise Cocktail (Print version)

A colorful layered cocktail with coconut rum, pineapple juice, grenadine, and blue curacao served over ice.

# Ingredients:

For one cocktail

01 - 1 oz (30 ml) grenadine
02 - 1 1/2 oz (45 ml) coconut rum, chilled
03 - 3 oz (90 ml) pineapple juice, chilled
04 - 1/2 oz (15 ml) blue curacao
05 - 1/2 oz (15 ml) cold water
06 - 1 cup crushed or cubed ice

For garnish

07 - 1 orange slice
08 - 1 maraschino cherry

# Instructions:

01 - Use a tall highball or hurricane glass. Fill it to the top with ice so the layers pour gently and stay separated.
02 - Pour the grenadine into the bottom of the glass and let it settle for 10 seconds.
03 - In a small measuring cup, stir the coconut rum and pineapple juice together until evenly blended.
04 - Hold an upside-down spoon just above the ice. Slowly pour the pineapple-rum mixture over the spoon and down the inside of the glass.
05 - Stir the blue curacao with cold water. Slowly spoon it over the top of the drink so it floats above the pineapple layer.
06 - Add an orange slice and cherry. Serve immediately before the layers begin to blend.

# Good to know:

01 - Best made one glass at a time for the cleanest layers.
02 - Use chilled ingredients so the ice melts more slowly.
03 - For adults of legal drinking age only.
