Always on the search for new and exciting cocktails, very fruity, smells like (don't laugh) '70's suntan oil. Which is good if you love coconuts and pineapple. It IS very labor intensive for just a cocktail. In all honesty, I'd probably rate this higher if someone else made it FOR me. I don't think I'd make this again. This is a better recipe for a catering company or bartender - anyone else who can do the work for you.
