Lava Flow Hawaiian Tropical Drink
Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen strawberries, thawed slightly
- 1/3 cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 3 ½ cups pineapple juice
- 2 (15-ounce) cans cream of coconut (see note)
- 1 cup half-and-half
- Ice
Instructions
- In a blender, puree the slightly thawed strawberries with sugar and 1/2 cup water. The mixture should be syrupy and thick. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup or bowl and chill in the refrigerator while prepping the other ingredients.
- Fill blender 2/3 of the way with ice. Add the add the pineapple juice, cream of coconut and half-and-half until it comes up to an even height with the ice. Blend until thick and slushy (add more coconut/pineapple mixture if it is too thick to blend easily or more ice if it's too thin). Depending on how many drinks you are making, you may need to continue to repeat this step until all drinks are made/all the pineapple mixture is blended.
- Add about an inch of the cold strawberry mixture into a 12- to 16-ounce cup. Pour the icy coconut/pineapple mixture into the center of the strawberry mixture in the cup until the cup is filled. If desired, gently swirl the mixture with a straw for the "lava" effect.
- Garnish the rim of the glass with a wedge of fresh pineapple, if desired. Serve immediately.
