Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice to chill while you mix the drink. Alternatively, add fresh ice to the serving glass at the end.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 cup of ice, 1.5 oz Malibu coconut rum, 0.5 oz white rum (if using), 0.75 oz Blue Curaçao, 3 oz pineapple juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (if using).
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
Strain and layer (optional)
If you chilled a serving glass, discard the chilling ice and add fresh ice. Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice. For a more pronounced blue hue, pour the Blue Curaçao slowly over the back of a spoon into the finished drink to create a subtle layered effect; otherwise it will be evenly blue when shaken.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and/or a maraschino cherry, give the drink a gentle stir to integrate flavors (if layered, stir lightly to keep some gradient), and serve with a straw.
