Mix the Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine dark rum, coconut cream, and lime juice. Shake well until all ingredients are fully integrated and the mixture is smooth.
Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass or tiki mug with ice cubes. This will keep your cocktail nicely chilled.
Pour the Mixture: Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass, letting it cascade over the ice.
Add the Cola: Gently pour the cola into the glass. The bubbling and fizzing make for a delightful visual that mimics the choppy seas.
The Float Part: Carefully place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the drink, making sure it floats perfectly.
Garnish: Add a lime wedge and a sprig of mint leaves. This not only enhances the flavor but also gives the cocktail a refreshing burst of aroma.
Serve: Grab your favorite cocktail straw, give it a slight stir to mix, and enjoy your Pirate’s Float.
