ingredients for rocket fuel cocktail on a tray.

Ingredients Needed:

  • Dark Rum
  • Amaretto
  • Coconut Cream
  • Pineapple Juice
  • Milk
  • Ice
  • White Rum
  • Pineapple Chunks ~ optional garnish
  • Maraschino Cherries ~ optional garnish

Recipe Notes and Variations:

  • Yield: 2 Cocktails ~ Double as needed.
  • Rum: We used Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum and Bacardi White Rum. The original used 151 rum for the rocket fuel, which is no longer made by Bacardi. I think there are other brands of 151 rum but we just went with the white rum and it worked great.
  • Coconut Cream: I skimmed the thick coconut cream from the top of the coconut milk.
