Tips for selecting ingredients

When selecting a coconut-flavored rum, consider a brand with a higher alcohol content (at least 35%) for a stronger flavor.
For a lighter flavor, consider using a light rum with a lower alcohol content (around 40%).

Ingredient substitutions

For the pineapple juice, substitute mango juice. This substitution will provide a sweeter flavor and a more tropical taste.
For the light rum, substitute spiced rum. This will add a bit of spice to the drink, giving it a more complex flavor profile.

Variations

Tropical Goombay Smash Replace the pineapple juice with equal parts mango and guava juice. Replace the Malibu Rum with equal parts light and dark coconut rum. Garnish with mango and guava slices instead of pineapple and orange.
