Make sure you use good Rum and fresh Pineapple Juice to ensure you get the best quality drink that you can. This will ensure great tropical vibes and plenty of great flavours.
Other than all of that, there's not a lot of information on this cocktail. From the name you want it to be a crazy Tiki drink, but, at only three ingredients, it's a very simple one. Of course Tiki cocktails aren't always complex, but they do tend to have more ingredients than other styles.
So we'll call this drink "tropical" but we won't call it Tiki. Will it go well with other tropical cocktails, sure, but it really lacks the history and elaborate aspects to go with Tiki. But really, who cares. It tastes good and that's all that matters.
