2 oz light rum (such as Bacardi or Cruzan)
-
1 oz cream of coconut (Coco López or Goya preferred)

2 oz pineapple juice (chilled) 🍍

🍹 Instructions:
1. Blend the Goodness
In a blender, combine:
-
2 oz light rum
-
1 oz cream of coconut
-
2 oz pineapple juice
-
½ cup strawberries
-
1 cup crushed ice
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and thick—like a tropical milkshake with a fruity kick.
2. Serve
-
Pour into a chilled hurricane or tulip glass.
-
The drink should be icy and pourable, not watery or too thick.
3. Garnish & Sip
-
Top with a whole strawberry on the rim, or drop it in.
-
Optional: add a pineapple leaf, paper umbrella, or a swirl of whipped cream for extra flair.
🍓 Optional Variations:
-
Frozen strawberries? Great! You can skip or reduce the ice for an even thicker frozen texture.
-
Extra creamy: Add a splash of coconut milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
-
Mocktail version: Skip the rum and add coconut water or a dash of vanilla extract for depth.
-
Layered look: Blend a traditional piña colada base and strawberry puree separately. Layer for a swirled sunset drink!
