Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 fresh pineapple or 1 can of pineapple chunks, drained

  • ½ cup Malibu rum (or other coconut-flavored rum)

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

  • Lime zest or juice (optional)


Instructions

  • Prep the Pineapple: Peel and cube fresh pineapple or drain and chop canned pineapple.

  • Make the Soaking Mix: Stir together rum, sweetener, and vanilla (if using).
