What each ingredient does

Light rum: Provides the spirit base and most of the drink's alcoholic strength.
Amaretto: Adds sweetness and a nutty almond aroma that rounds out the fruit.
Pineapple juice: Supplies sweetness and tartness as the main fruit body of the drink.
Orange juice: Adds citrus acidity and fruity brightness that balances the sweetness.
Grenadine: Adds sweetness and a red color when floated on top for a layered look.
