Pour in light and dark rum. Add some coconut milk and 3-4 orange slices. Then add a handful of maraschino cherries. Garnish with an umbrella. Pour some orange curacao in your hand and splash the top. Then take the whole thing including mug and umbrella and put it in a blender. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

I just watched this same episode (season 2 episode 16) The rums are Bacardi white rum and Ronrico Gold Label (pretty sure about that one according to matching the labels) It does look like Coach uses Pina Colada mix, followed by a splash of something I can't identify - a clear liquor with a red/burgundy band on the neck of the bottle and a gold-ish band at the bottom of the label. I've looked at a bunch of 1980s curaçao bottles online (as well as overproof rums and such) and none seem to match, but if you have better evidence, please share.
