Ingredients
Pink Layer (Bottom or Swirl)
1 cup frozen strawberries (or 2 tbsp strawberry purée or syrup)
2 oz coconut cream or vanilla liqueur (such as Licor 43)
1½ oz light rum
½ oz grenadine
1 cup ice
Yellow Layer (Top or Swirl)
¾ cup lemonade (preferably frozen concentrate or fresh-squeezed)
2 oz coconut cream
1½ oz light rum
1 cup ice
Optional Garnishes
Lemon slices
Fresh strawberries
Pink or yellow sugar for rimming glasses
Instructions
Blend the Pink Layer: In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, coconut cream or vanilla liqueur, rum, grenadine, and ice. Blend until smooth and thick, like a soft sorbet. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and chill for 5–10 minutes.
Blend the Yellow Layer: Rinse the blender and add the lemonade, coconut cream, rum, and ice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Freeze briefly to help it hold shape when layered.
Assemble the Cocktail: In two chilled glasses, alternate spoonfuls of the pink and yellow layers to create a marbled swirl effect. Use a skewer or spoon handle to gently swirl, if desired.
Garnish and Serve: Top with lemon slices and fresh strawberries. Serve immediately with a wide straw or cocktail spoon.
Notes
For a stronger drink, increase the rum by ½ oz per layer.
To make it non-alcoholic, skip the rum and use vanilla extract in place of the liqueur.
Chill your glasses before serving to keep the layers distinct and the drink cold.
Prepare both layers ahead of time and freeze separately for quick party assembly.
Feel free to swap in other fruits like mango or raspberry for a fun twist!
