Piña Colada Layer
- 0.5 cup Frozen Pineapple Chunks

Blue Curaçao Layer
- 1 fluid ounce Blue Curaçao
- 0.5 fluid ounce Vodka

Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Layer: In a blender, combine 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 fluid ounce white rum, 0.5 fluid ounce key lime juice, 0.5 fluid ounce simple syrup, and 0.5 cup ice. Blend until smooth and slushy. Pour this red mixture into the bottom of a clear glass and place it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Prepare the Piña Colada Layer: Rinse the blender to remove strawberry residue. Add 0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks, 1 fluid ounce white rum, 1 ounce coconut cream, 0.25 cup coconut milk, and 0.5 cup ice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently spoon this white layer over the firmed-up strawberry layer in the glass. Return the glass to the freezer for another 10 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Blue Curaçao Layer: Rinse the blender again. Combine 1 fluid ounce blue curaçao, 0.5 fluid ounce vodka, 0.5 cup lemon-lime soda water, and 0.5 cup ice in the blender. Blend until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. Carefully spoon this blue layer on top of the white piña colada layer in the glass.
- Garnish and Serve: Adorn your layered slushy with fresh fruit slices, cocktail umbrellas, or small festive flags. Serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon to enjoy the refreshing, boozy treat.
Notes
- Ensure each layer is firm before adding the next to maintain distinct color separation.
- Use a clear glass to showcase the patriotic red, white, and blue layers visually.
- Adjust the amount of alcohol to suit your preference or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
- For a sweeter taste, increase simple syrup in the strawberry layer or coconut cream in the piña colada layer.
- Rinse the blender thoroughly between layers to prevent color mixing.
- Consume immediately after assembling for best texture and flavor.
