GLM – Fresh Pineapple Rum Runner
With fall just around the corner, we’re skipping the pumpkin spice and cider this time… and going straight for a frozen blast of fun! One sip of this drink and you’ll know why it’s a favorite, just don’t say we didn’t warn you. Strong, cold, and dangerously delicious. Sip smart and definitely keep the car keys out of reach!
Frozen Rum Runner – Large Batch Using Pineapple
Ingredients (6–8 servings):
- 6 oz light rum
- 6 oz dark or aged rum
- 6 oz banana liqueur
- 6 oz blackberry liqueur
- 6 oz fresh pineapple juice or 3 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 oz fresh orange juice
- 3 oz grenadine (reduce to 1½ oz if you prefer less sweet)
- 3 oz fresh lime juice
- 9–12 cups ice (adjust to get the desired frozen consistency)
- Optional float: 3 oz 151 rum or dark rum
Instructions:
- Add ice, pineapple (juice or chunks), and all other ingredients (except the 151 float) into a large-capacity blender. You may need to blend in batches depending on blender size.
- Blend until smooth and slushy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more pineapple or orange juice.
- Pour into hurricane glasses or place in a pitcher for service.
- For a traditional kick, float 151 rum on top by drizzling slowly over the back of a spoon.
- Garnish each glass with pineapple wedges, cherries, or citrus wheels.
Tips for Large Batch:
- Keep it icy: If serving over time, freeze extra pineapple juice or chunks in ice cube trays to refresh the batch without diluting the flavor.
- Visual flair: Layer grenadine in the bottom of each glass before pouring for a “sunset” effect.
- Optional twist: Add a small handful of frozen berries for color and texture.
