Instructions
-
Make the Strawberry Layer:
In a blender, combine strawberries, a splash of sparkling water, and a few ice cubes. Blend until smooth and pour into the bottom of two glasses. -
Make the Pineapple Layer:
Rinse the blender, then add frozen pineapple, whipped cream vodka, pineapple rum, another splash of sparkling water, and crushed ice. Blend until thick and creamy. -
Layer the Cocktail:
Slowly pour the pineapple mixture over the strawberry base in each glass. If the texture is thick enough, the layers will stay beautifully separated. -
Garnish and Serve:
Add a strawberry slice or pineapple wedge on top. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy that tropical, cake-like sip!
Notes
-
Use frozen fruit for the thickest texture. If using fresh pineapple, increase the ice to keep it slushy.
-
No whipped cream vodka? Try vanilla or cake-flavored vodka instead.
-
Want to make it a mocktail? Replace the alcohol with a splash of pineapple juice and a touch of vanilla extract.
-
For cleaner layers, chill your glasses beforehand and pour the top layer gently over a spoon.
-
You can batch-blend each layer and store them separately in the freezer until serving.
