Method
Base Blend
Prepare fruit
If using fresh strawberries, hull and halve them. If using frozen strawberries, measure and roughly break up any large chunks so they blend smoothly.
Combine ingredients
Add Bacardi white rum, fresh pineapple juice, cream of coconut, strawberries, and ice to a blender. Secure the lid.
Blend
Blend on high for 20–30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Aim for a thick, pourable consistency similar to a milkshake; add a splash (0.25–0.5 oz) of pineapple juice if it's too thick, or a few more ice cubes if too thin.
Assemble & Finish
Float the dark rum
Using the back of a spoon held just above the drink surface (or pouring very gently), slowly pour the 0.5 oz Mahina Dark rum over the spoon so it floats on top and creates a 'lava' layer.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a strawberry or pineapple wedge and optional strawberry/pineapple leaf. Serve immediately with a straw and a cocktail spoon so the drinker can swirl the dark rum into the blended base if desired.
