Ingredients
  

Drink Base
  • 1 cup pineapple juice chilled
  • 0.5 cup lemonade
  • 0.5 cup peach nectar or peach juice
  • 0.25 cup white grape juice optional
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried pineapple pieces
Topping
  • 0.5 cup strawberries fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 1 tsp sugar optional, for puree
  • 2 cups ice

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Cocktail Shaker or Jar
  • Tall Glasses

Method
 

  1. Prepare the puree: Blend strawberries (and sugar if needed) until smooth. Strain if desired to remove seeds. Set aside.
  2. In a shaker or jar, combine pineapple juice, lemonade, peach nectar, and white grape juice. Shake well to mix.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of freeze-dried pineapple pieces into the bottom of each glass.
  4. Fill glasses to the rim with ice.
  5. Pour the pineapple-peach mixture over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Gently spoon the strawberry puree over the top of the ice. Do not stir; allow it to sink naturally for the gradient effect.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For a 'Pink Drink' vibe, add a splash of coconut milk to the base.
