Add ice and blend until combined with a pourable, icy texture.
Pour into the glass and garnish with pineapple and a cocktail cherry. Serve with a straw.

- Work within the blender capacity when increasing servings.
Good to know
Coconut cream or cream of coconut?
This page uses coconut cream. Sweetened cream of coconut generally contains substantial added sugar and changes the balance.
Can I make it without a blender?
A shaken variation is possible, but it will not recreate this blended icy texture. These instructions use a blender.
Why is there no exact ice weight?
The selected source does not specify one, and glass size and appliance affect the amount. We do not invent a measured quantity.
