Ingredients You’ll Need
Most of these are likely in your pantry or fridge already. Use fresh lime juice for the best zing.
- 2 ounces White Rum
- 3 ounces Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
- 1 ounce Unsweetened Coconut Water
- 0.5 ounce Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or Monk Fruit sweetener (optional)
- 1 cup Crushed Ice
- 1 Fresh Pineapple Wedge for garnish
Step-by-Step Directions
- Place the white rum, pineapple juice, coconut water, lime juice, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
- Add the crushed ice to the blender vessel.
- Blend on high speed for approximately 20-30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and reaches a slushy consistency.
- Pour the mixture into a chilled glass.

Best Ways to Enjoy It
Pour this into your favorite tall, chilled glass. Garnish it with a big pineapple wedge for style. Serve it alongside some spicy shrimp tacos. It is the ultimate summer entertaining staple.
Storage & Reheating
Drink this one immediately for the best texture. Blended drinks do not love the fridge. They will melt and lose their frosty magic quickly. If you have leftovers, pour them into popsicle molds. Freeze them for a boozy frozen treat later!
