Ingredients
Scale
Piña Colada Base:
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup (120 ml) pineapple juice
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (almond milk, coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons cream of coconut
- 5 ice cubes
Strawberry Daiquiri Base:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) water
- ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
- Juice from ½ lime
- 5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the blender and add milk, pineapple juice, frozen banana, cream of coconut, and ice cubes. Pulse until the mixture transforms into a silky, smooth tropical concoction.
- Transfer the piña colada blend into a separate container, ensuring to thoroughly clean the blender for the next phase of preparation.
- Return to the pristine blender and combine water, sugar, frozen strawberries, lime juice, and ice cubes. Whirl the ingredients until they create a vibrant, ruby-red puree.
- Select your serving glasses and artfully construct the mocktail by carefully layering the white piña colada mixture with the crimson strawberry daiquiri base.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning each glass with an elegant fruit skewer featuring alternating chunks of sweet pineapple and ripe strawberries. Alternatively, garnish with a delicate pineapple slice perched on the rim.
- Serve immediately to capture the maximum freshness and tropical essence of this refreshing Miami-inspired beverage.
Notes
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the layered mocktail extra cool and prevent rapid melting.
- Use ripe frozen bananas for a creamier, smoother piña colada base with natural sweetness.
- Cream of coconut provides rich, authentic tropical flavor – different from coconut milk or water.
- Blend each layer separately to maintain distinct colors and prevent unwanted mixing.
- Fresh lime juice elevates the strawberry layer’s brightness and cuts through sweetness.
- Fruit skewers aren’t just decorative; they add a fun, edible element to the drink presentation.
