Ingredients
 

  • 1 oz White Rum - for Piña Colada mixture
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz White Rum - for Strawberry Daiquiri mixture
  • 1 oz strawberry syrup
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • Crushed ice
  • Pineapple slice or cherry - for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Jigger
  • Highball Glass

Instructions

  • Blend Piña Colada: In the blender, combine 1 oz coconut cream, 1 oz pineapple juice and 1 oz White Rum. Add crushed ice and blend until smooth.
  • Pour your first drink: pour the first drink in your highball glass and wash the blender.
  • Blend Strawberry Daiquiri: In the blender, mix 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz strawberry syrup, and 1 oz White Rum. Add a scoop of crushed ice and blend until smooth.
  • Layer: Slowly pour the Strawberry Daiquiri mixture over the Piña Colada mixture.
  • Garnish: Add a pineapple slice or cherry for garnish.

Notes

Substitutes:

  • White Rum: You can use vodka for a neutral kick if you're out of white rum. I've also tried it with coconut rum for an extra tropical vibe.
  • Coconut Cream: Coconut milk works if you're in a pinch, but it's less creamy.
  • Strawberry Syrup: You can use frozen strawberries blended with a bit of water and sugar.

Making a Pitcher:

  • Scale: To serve 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That's 16 oz of white rum, 8 oz of coconut cream, 8 oz of pineapple juice, 8 oz of strawberry syrup, and 8 oz of lime juice.
  • Mix: Blend with crushed ice the Piña Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri mixtures separately.
  • Serve: Layer the mixtures in highball glasses, garnish, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • White Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum alternative or coconut water for the tropical flavor.
  • Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes and follow the original steps to enjoy a non-alcoholic version.

Making it Vegan:

  • Coconut Cream: Ensure the coconut cream you're using is vegan. Most are, but it's always good to check the label.
