Notes
My Top Tip♡ To get that beautiful layered look, do not stir this cocktail while making it.Make it in Advance for a Party:Since this recipe is for a single serving it can be easily scaled up to multiple servings by multiplying the amount of each ingredient by the number of guests. You also can do the following steps in advance:1) Cut the orange garnish or plan to use maraschino cherries. 2) Mix the orange juice and coconut rum. 3) Squeeze the cream of coconut into glasses.Just before serving, add crushed ice to the prepped cream of coconut glasses. Next, pour the combined orange juice and coconut rum into each glass. Lastly, pour the grenadine syrup and garnish each drink.
