Updated June 2, 2017 - 12:44 pm

From Las Vegas’ most over-the-top tiki bar, The Golden Tiki, comes the kuuipo.

The name means sweetheart, and this monster drink was made for sharing.

Obviously, you don’t have to serve it in a pineapple, or decorate that pineapple. But what good is a tiki drink if you don’t have fun with it?

■ 1 whole pineapple

Preparation

Hollow out whole pineapple with top. Cut two holes for straws.

Directions
