Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz white rum (preferably Bacardi)
- 4 oz strawberry daiquiri mix (fresh or frozen strawberries blended with lime and simple syrup)
- 4 oz piña colada mix (canned or homemade with cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and ice)
- ½ oz lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup (optional, if strawberry mix isn’t sweet enough)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry daiquiri layer: In a blender, combine 4 oz strawberry daiquiri mix, 1 oz white rum, ½ oz lime juice, and a handful of ice. Blend until smooth but thick enough to hold its shape (about 1-2 minutes).
- Prepare the piña colada layer: Rinse the blender and add 4 oz piña colada mix, 1 oz white rum, and ice. Blend until creamy and thick (about 1-2 minutes).
- Layer the strawberry daiquiri: Pour the strawberry mixture into a glass until about halfway full. Tap gently to level.
- Slowly add the piña colada layer: Hold a spoon upside down just above the strawberry layer and slowly pour the piña colada mix over the back of the spoon to float on top.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry or pineapple wedge on the rim and insert a straw. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use crushed ice for best texture. Pour the top layer slowly over a spoon to keep layers distinct. Chill the glass beforehand to maintain layers longer. Avoid stirring after layering. For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with coconut water and add extra pineapple juice.
