Strawberry Daiquiri Layer

Method

Strawberry Daiquiri Layer

  1. 1

    Prepare rim (optional)

    If you want a sugared rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into granulated sugar and set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    In a blender add strawberries, white rum (2 oz), lime juice (1 oz), simple syrup (0.5 oz) and 1 cup crushed ice.

  3. 3

    Blend on high until completely smooth and slushy, about 20–30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little extra simple syrup if needed.

  4. 4

    Pour or spoon the strawberry slush carefully into the serving glass to fill half of it. Use the back of a spoon to help create a flat layer if desired. Place the glass briefly in the freezer or set aside while you make the second layer to keep separation.

Piña Colada Layer

  1. 5

    Rinse the blender (or use a second blender) and add pineapple chunks, white rum (2 oz), cream of coconut (2 oz), heavy cream (0.5 oz) and 1 cup crushed ice.

  2. 6

    Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 20–30 seconds. If mixture is too thick to pour, add 0.5–1 oz pineapple juice or water to reach a pourable slush consistency.

  3. 7

    Gently pour the piña colada slush over the back of a spoon onto the strawberry layer so it floats and creates the classic two-tone Miami Vice look. Fill the glass to the top.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 8

    Garnish the rim with a pineapple wedge and a fresh strawberry. Add a paper straw or cocktail umbrella.

  2. 9

    Serve immediately with a spoon or straw. Estimated to serve one.
