Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add more pineapple juice or coconut cream.
- Use canned coconut cream for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a small amount of simple syrup or honey if desired.
- Ensure the pineapple chunks are frozen to achieve the proper cold and thick consistency.
- Serve immediately to prevent the drink from separating or becoming watery.
- Garnishes not only add visual appeal but can enhance the overall tropical experience.
