1 oz strawberry liqueur (for the red layer)
1 oz crème de banana (for the yellow layer)
1 oz melon liqueur (for the green layer)
3 cups ice (divided evenly, 1 cup per layer)
2 fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
Make the Green Layer (Bottom):
In a blender, combine 1 cup ice, 1 oz melon liqueur, and 1 oz piña colada mix. Blend until slushy and pour carefully into the bottom of a hurricane glass.Make the Yellow Layer (Middle):
Rinse the blender. Add 1 cup ice, 1 oz crème de banana, and 1 oz piña colada mix. Blend, then slowly pour over the green layer using the back of a spoon to keep layers separated.Make the Red Layer (Top):
Rinse the blender again. Blend 1 cup ice, 1 oz strawberry liqueur, and 1 oz piña colada mix. Gently spoon this layer on top of the yellow layer.
Garnish and Serve:
Top each glass with a fresh strawberry. Add a straw or cocktail skewer and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use crushed ice to help each layer blend into a thick, pourable slush.
Chill your glasses ahead of time to help keep the layers distinct longer.
Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon for clean separation—this trick is a lifesaver!
Want to make it a mocktail? Replace the liqueurs with fruit juices like grenadine, banana nectar, and melon soda.
Store any extra slush in the freezer and re-blend with a splash of piña colada mix before serving.
