Ingredients
Instructions
- Put 2 ounces blended strawberries into the bottom of the glass.
- Blend the remaining ingredients: rum, creme de banana, ripe banana, pineapple juice, Coco Lopez, and ice.
- Pour the blended mixture over the strawberries to create a swirled effect.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense banana flavor, consider using frozen ripe bananas instead of fresh ones. You can also substitute the rum with coconut rum for a tropical twist. If you're looking for a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with coconut water. To enhance the presentation, garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple or a cherry on top.
Serving Suggestions
Serve in a tall glass to showcase the beautiful swirl effect created by the strawberries. This drink pairs beautifully with Baked Stuffed Red Fish or a light tropical salad. For a festive touch, consider serving it at a summer gathering or beach-themed party alongside refreshing snacks.
Storage & Reheating
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, as the ice will dilute the flavors over time. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To serve, blend again with fresh ice for a refreshing experience.
