Secrets to Shake it Up
•    You can use any tropical flavored rum you like, we prefer to use a coconut or a guava flavored rum!
•    Having a party? Turn this into a fun Summer Party Punch by increasing the volume level on the ingredients, place in a large punch bowl, chill with ice, and float orchids on top!
•    Impress your friends with your bartending skills by muddling some fresh pineapple instead of using pineapple juice. Then garnish with a pineapple wedge on the side of the glass.
•    Coconut water is rich in nutrients and an excellent source of hydration!
