Notes

  • Use Malibu or any preferred coconut rum to enhance the tropical flavors.
  • Ensure the corn syrup is not too runny to help the sprinkles stick well to the glass rim.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
  • Can be easily scaled up for multiple servings to serve at parties.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace all alcohol with coconut water and pineapple-orange juice blend.
