Notes

  • Pour in each ingredient slowly so that the ingredients stay layered. 
  • It's also important not to stir the drink! 
  • Instead of orange-pineapple juice, you can use half orange juice and half pineapple juice. 
  • Keep Malibu rum in the freezer so that it's nice and cold when you're ready to make your drink!
