Baking Tips

Use frozen strawberries for a colder drink and more intense strawberry flavor

For the strawberry puree, blend fresh strawberries and strain out seeds for a smoother texture

Chill all ingredients beforehand for an extra refreshing cocktail that needs less ice

For a stronger coconut flavor, increase the ratio of coconut rum to white rum

To make a virgin version, omit the alcohol and add more fruit juices and a splash of coconut cream

The grenadine should be added last for beginners to create a beautiful gradient effect in the glass

For a less sweet drink, reduce the grenadine and cream of coconut and add more lime juice

If you prefer a frozen version, blend all ingredients except the dark rum float with 2 cups of ice

For a party presentation, serve in a large clear punch bowl with a floating layer of fruit slices

For a special touch, freeze edible flowers or fruit in ice cubes to add to individual glasses

For the Pink Coconut Rum Punch Base:

8 oz white rum

4 oz coconut rum

6 oz cream of coconut

8 oz pineapple juice (fresh if possible)

4 oz strawberry puree (about 1 cup fresh strawberries, blended)

2 oz grenadine

2 oz fresh lime juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup crushed ice, plus more for serving

For the Coconut Rim:

2 tbsp honey or simple syrup

1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes

For the Garnish:

4 pineapple wedges

4 fresh strawberries, sliced

4 edible hibiscus flowers (optional)

Fresh mint sprigs

8 small paper umbrellas (optional)

4 pink straws

For Serving:

2 oz dark rum for floating

Extra toasted coconut for sprinkling

Edible flower petals for decoration (optional)

Equipment:

Cocktail shaker or mixing pitcher

Hurricane or large goblet glasses

Muddler

Shallow plates for coconut rim

Ice crusher

Cocktail picks or toothpicks

Instructions

Prepare the coconut rim by spreading honey or simple syrup on a shallow plate and the toasted coconut flakes on another plate. Dip the rims of your hurricane glasses first in the honey, then in the coconut flakes to coat.

Fill each rimmed glass halfway with fresh crushed ice and place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cocktail.

In a large pitcher or cocktail shaker, combine the white rum, coconut rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, strawberry puree, grenadine, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously or shake well to combine.

Add the cup of crushed ice and stir gently until the mixture is well-chilled. The punch should have a vibrant pink color reminiscent of a tropical sunset.

Remove the chilled glasses from the refrigerator and fill with the pink coconut rum punch mixture, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.

Gently float a half ounce of dark rum on top of each drink by pouring it slowly over the back of a spoon.

Garnish each glass with a pineapple wedge, sliced strawberry, and hibiscus flower on a cocktail pick. Add a sprig of fresh mint.

Sprinkle a small amount of additional toasted coconut on top of each drink for texture and aroma.

Insert pink straws and paper umbrellas if desired for a festive tropical touch, and serve immediately while still chilled.
