Ingredients
- 5 ounces frozen strawberries
- 2 ounces coconut rum
- 2 ounces light rum
- 6 ounces cream of coconut
- 6 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 ½ cups crushed ice
- Garnish: Pineapple wedge or fresh strawberry long straw
Instructions
- In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, coconut rum, and light rum. Blend until smooth. Divide evenly between two glasses.
- Rinse the blender. Add cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and crushed ice. Blend until creamy and smooth.
- Slowly pour the coconut mixture over the strawberry base in each glass to create the signature swirl effect.
- Garnish with a pineapple wedge or strawberry, insert a long straw, and serve immediately. Enjoy your tropical escape!
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum or use alcohol-free alternatives.
- If you prefer the traditional version, blend 1 small banana with the coconut mixture and reduce cream of coconut and pineapple juice to 4 oz each.
- No coconut rum? Substitute with spiced rum and adjust cream of coconut to 5 oz.
- To make your own cream of coconut, heat 4 oz coconut cream with ½ cup sugar and a pinch of salt until dissolved.
- Store leftovers in a freezer-safe container and re-blend before serving.
- Best served in a chilled hurricane or highball glass for the ultimate tropical experience.
