Ingredients
  

Strawberry Daiquiri Layer
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 2 oz white rum omit for mocktail
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 0.5 cup crushed ice
Piña Colada Layer
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2 oz white rum or coconut rum
  • 2 oz cream of coconut like Coco López
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 0.5 cup crushed ice
Garnish
  • 2 wedges fresh pineapple for rim

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Hurricane glasses or clear cups
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, 2 oz white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and 1/2 cup crushed ice.
  2. Blend on high until smooth and slushy. Pour into an insulated pitcher and place in the freezer.
  3. Rinse the blender pitcher thoroughly.
  4. In the clean blender, combine frozen pineapple chunks, 2 oz white rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and remaining 1/2 cup crushed ice.
  5. Blend on high until thick, creamy, and completely smooth.
  6. To serve, pour the strawberry mixture and the piña colada mixture into two tall clear glasses, either layered one on top of the other or poured simultaneously side-by-side.
  7. Garnish the rim of each glass with a fresh thick wedge of pineapple and serve immediately with two straws.

Notes

To make this a kid-friendly virgin mocktail, simply omit the rum entirely. Replace the rum in the strawberry layer with a splash of water, and replace the rum in the coconut layer with extra pineapple juice.
