Note
For a stronger flavor, you can increase the amount of rum to 4 oz or add a splash of pineapple juice.
If you do not have crushed pineapple, you can use fresh pineapple chunks, though they may require blending longer to break down.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with pineapple juice or coconut water.
Serve garnished with a pineapple wedge or a cherry for a festive touch.
