This drink originated in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. There are several different variations. I added the lime juice myself for the extra zing. Very fruity to cover the taste of alcohol. The primary flavours are coconut and pineapple. Garnish with a cherry, some orange peel, or a lime wedge.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 fluid ounce coconut-flavored rum
  • 1 fluid ounce amaretto liqueur
  • ¼ fluid ounce fresh lime juice
  • ¾ fluid ounce pineapple juice
  • ½ fluid ounce cranberry juice

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Pour the rum, amaretto, lime juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice into a tall glass with ice; stir.

    Excellent tropical type drink that always gets rave reviews from guests. I follow the recipe and add a bit more of the juices to make it less lethal.

    My favourite drink; sweet and smooth. I added an extra ounce of Cranberry juice as well as 2 Marichino cherries about 1 tbsp of the syrup. Absolutely delicious.

    This is a nice cocktail kinda like DMB...easy listening. I elected to use white rum because I hate coconut and I couldn't resist adding a splash of Diet 7-Up because I love bubbles. Cheers!

    This is such an amazing drink!! It was given to us by friends in New Brunswick and now we gladly share it with all our Albertan friends. It's so good. We place all the ingredients in our Vita Mix blender and you get a creamy foam on the top. It's delicious!!!!
