Method
 

  1. Place two tall glasses in the freezer to chill before starting.
  2. Blend all 'Yellow Bottom Layer' ingredients on high until smooth and thick like sorbet.
  3. Pour the yellow mixture into the bottom third of the chilled glasses. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm the surface.
  4. Rinse blender. Blend all 'Magenta Middle Layer' ingredients until smooth.
  5. Gently spoon the magenta mixture over the back of a spoon onto the frozen yellow layer, filling to two-thirds. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
  6. Rinse blender. Blend all 'Blue Top Layer' ingredients until icy and thick.
  7. Gently spoon the blue mixture to the top of the glasses. Garnish with pineapple fronds and orange slices. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For clean layers, do not skip the freezing steps between pours. Ensure each layer is thick; add more ice if runny.
