A layered frozen cocktail combining creamy strawberry and tangy piña colada flavors, perfect for quick and easy summer fun.

Ingredients

  • Frozen strawberries (about 1 ½ cups / 225g)
  • White rum (4 oz / 120 ml total, divided)
  • Simple syrup (1 oz / 30 ml)
  • Fresh lime juice (½ oz / 15 ml)
  • Ice cubes (2 cups / 480 ml total, divided)
  • Coconut cream (3 oz / 90 ml)
  • Pineapple juice (3 oz / 90 ml)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh pineapple wedges, strawberry slices, mint sprigs, paper straws

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Layer: In your blender, combine frozen strawberries, 2 oz (60 ml) white rum, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until smooth but still thick.
  2. Set the Strawberry Layer Aside: Pour the strawberry mixture into a separate bowl or pitcher. Rinse your blender to prep for the next layer.
  3. Make the Piña Colada Layer: Add 2 oz (60 ml) white rum, 3 oz (90 ml) coconut cream, 3 oz (90 ml) pineapple juice, and 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high for about 40 seconds until creamy and smooth.
  4. Layer the Cocktail: Pour the piña colada mixture gently into two tall glasses, filling each about halfway.
  5. Add the Strawberry Layer: Carefully spoon or pour the strawberry mixture on top of the piña colada layer slowly to keep layers distinct.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add a fresh strawberry slice or pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint to each glass. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with extra pineapple juice or coconut water. Use Greek yogurt instead of coconut cream for a tangier twist. Chill glasses beforehand to keep layers intact longer. Avoid over-blending the strawberry mix to maintain texture.
