Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 oz Malibu rum (coconut rum)
- 1 oz flavored syrup (cherry, blackberry, or vanilla—your choice)
- 1 oz half & half or coconut cream (for creaminess)
- 4–6 oz club soda or sparkling water (to top)
Others
- Ice
- Optional garnish: maraschino cherry, lime wedge, or blackberry
Instructions
- Fill the glass: Add ice to a tall glass to prepare the base for the drink.
- Add Malibu & syrup: Pour in 2 oz of Malibu rum and 1 oz of your chosen flavored syrup into the glass.
- Add cream: Slowly pour 1 oz of half & half or coconut cream over the back of a spoon to create a layered, “dirty” effect in the drink.
- Top with club soda: Gently pour 4–6 oz of club soda or sparkling water to fill the glass without disturbing the layers.
- Mix & garnish: Stir lightly if desired to blend layers or leave layered for visual appeal. Garnish with a maraschino cherry, lime wedge, or fresh berries as preferred.
Notes
- Dairy-free option: Substitute half & half with coconut cream or oat milk.
- Mocktail version: Omit Malibu rum and use coconut water or coconut-flavored syrup instead.
- For extra flavor and color: Add a splash of grenadine to create a sunset look.
