🍹 Ingredients (Makes 1–2 servings)

🍍 Coconut-Pineapple Base:

• 1 oz white rum

• 1 oz Malibu rum (or any coconut rum)

• 2 oz pineapple juice

• 2 oz coconut cream (like Coco Lopez or any thick cream of coconut)

• 1 small ripe banana

• 1 cup crushed ice

🍓 Strawberry Lava Swirl:

• 2 oz strawberries (fresh or frozen)

• Optional: ½ oz simple syrup or a splash of grenadine (if strawberries aren’t sweet enough)

🌀 Instructions

1. Blend the Strawberry Layer First 🍓

   • In a blender, add the strawberries (and optional sweetener).

   • Blend until smooth and pour into the bottom of your glass.

   • Tip: For a dramatic lava effect, slightly tilt the glass as you pour or gently swirl the strawberry puree up the sides using a spoon.

   • Set glass aside.

2. Rinse the Blender, then make the Coconut-Pineapple Base 🍍🥥

   • Add white rum, Malibu rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, banana, and crushed ice.

   • Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Layer It Up 🌋

   • Carefully pour the coconut-pineapple blend into the glass over the strawberry puree.

   • You’ll see the red “lava” swirl upward through the creamy white drink!

4. Garnish (Optional but extra pretty!)

   • Top with a pineapple wedge, strawberry slice, banana slice, or a cocktail umbrella.

🌴 Mocktail Version (Non-Alcoholic)

Simply omit the rum and add an extra 1 oz each of pineapple juice and coconut milk or cream. Still dreamy, tropical, and delicious for everyone!
