Start by placing your fresh mint leaves and sugar cane syrup into the bottom of your cocktail glass and use the muddler to smash them. The more you smash them, the more flavor from the mint will come out.
Next, cut up your pineapple, lime and open your coconut. Limes should be cut into quarters (makes for easier mashing). You want to drain your coconut and save the water (you can also save time by purchasing coconut water or milk).
Place some limes into the bottom of your cocktail shaker and use your muddler again to smush the juices out of the limes.
Pour the lime juice into the cup with the mint.
Now, do the same thing with the Pineapple, place it into the shaker, mush with the muddler and pour into the glass.
Next, pour some tonic water into the glass filling it about half way.
Add some ice and finally, add your rum (as little or as much as you want but typically 1-2 shots).
Stir and enjoy!
