Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz dark rum
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • 4 oz cola
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 oz lime juice

Instructions
 

  • 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.

  • 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.
