Ingredients & Supplies Needed

Before you get started making your Rum Runner, it’s important to have all the necessary items on hand. You will need the following ingredients and supplies:

• 1 oz white rum
• 1 oz blackberry brandy or dark rum (such as Myers's) 
• 1 oz coconut-flavored rum (such as Malibu) 
• 2 oz orange juice 
• 2 oz pineapple juice 
• A splash of grenadine syrup 
• Ice cubes 
• Tall glass (such as a hurricane glass)                                                                            
• Blender (optional)

Instructions For Making the Drink

Once you have all your ingredients gathered, it’s time to put your Rum Runner together. Start by filling your tall glass with ice cubes. Then add in the white rum, blackberry brandy or dark rum, and coconut flavored rum into the glass. Next pour in the orange juice and pineapple juice.

Lastly, add a splash of grenadine syrup for color and sweetness. Give everything a gentle stir until combined. If you prefer an extra cold drink or want more of an icy slushy texture, use a blender to mix everything together instead of stirring it by hand. Enjoy!
