A Staten Island Ferry is a cocktail consisting of equal parts Malibu Rum and pineapple juice served over ice. In flavor it resembles a Piña Colada but does not require coconut cream, and thus is more easily mixed in bars that lack the specialty ingredients and blender that a Piña Colada would require.

Staten Island is home to at least one tiki bar, Jade Island, but the name of the cocktail is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that Staten Island is far from the tropics and visitors desiring an "island" atmosphere must often make do with the ingredients at hand.
