Instructions

Notes
- Swap coconut rum with non-alcoholic coconut extract for a kid-friendly or mocktail version that maintains the tropical flavor profile.
- Experiment with different bubblegum syrup brands to find the most vibrant and authentic bubblegum taste that complements the tropical notes.
- Freeze leftover pineapple juice in ice cube trays to create flavor-packed ice cubes that won’t dilute the cocktail’s intensity when blending.
- Use a high-powered blender to achieve an ultra-smooth, creamy texture that perfectly incorporates all ingredients without leaving chunks of ice.
