Ingredients
- 3/4 oz Coconut Rum

- In a hurricane glass filled with ice cubes, pour 3/4 oz of coconut rum and 3/4 oz of melon liqueur, and mix gently.

Notes
The Caribbean Sunset Cocktail is as visually stunning as it is delicious, with its layered presentation mimicking the hues of a tropical sunset. The combination of coconut rum and melon liqueur provides a sweet and tropical base, while the cranberry juice adds a tart contrast. The orange juice tops it off with a refreshing citrus finish, making this drink perfect for sipping on a warm day or at a tropical-themed party.
For the best layering effect, pour the juices slowly over the back of a spoon to ensure they float on top of each other, creating distinct layers. This cocktail is easy to customize—if you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the coconut rum, or if you enjoy a tarter flavor, add more cranberry juice.
