​Archie Thomas includes this recipe in the "mocktail" section of his book. Since we don't play that way, we added rum. Other than that, the recipe is the same and can be found in the book 50 Amazing Cocktails Inspired by Harry Potter.

Professor's Pineapple Pop (named for Professor Pomona Sprout from Hufflepuff)
2 parts rum
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 parts pineapple juice
soda water
coconut slice
ice
Add everything but the soda water to a blender. Blend together then sir in soda. Strain into glass. Garnish with coconut slice.

When I think of a proper beach drink, a Mai Tai is what I see. Pineapple chunk garnish, of course.

1 ounce dark rum
1/2 ounce Malibu Rum
3 ounces of pineapple juice
2 ounces of orange juice
1 tsp. grenadine

Combine in one of two ways: 
Combine everything together in a shaker filled with ice. Pour and serve.
- or
Combine the Malibu, grenadine and juices in a shaker with ice. Pour that and float the dark rum over the top of the drink and watch the dark sugary goodness seep its way into the juices and your soul.
