Ingredients
Scale
Red Layer
- 3 tablespoons honey (or agave nectar if vegan)
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (juice from half of 1 medium lime)
- 4 ounces rum
- ½ cup ice cubes
White Layer
- ¼ cup cold coconut cream
- 1 cup frozen banana (sliced)
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 2 ounces rum
- ½ cup ice cubes
Blue Layer
- 3 tablespoons honey (or agave nectar if vegan)
- 1 ¼ cups frozen blueberries
- 4 ounces rum
- ½ cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Red Layer: Combine all red layer ingredients—honey, frozen strawberries, lime juice, rum, and ice cubes—in a high-speed blender. Blend just until smooth to keep some texture. Pour into a container and place in the freezer to chill while preparing the other layers. Rinse out the blender thoroughly.
- Prepare the White Layer: Add the cold coconut cream, frozen banana, frozen pineapple, rum, and ice cubes to the blender. Blend until smooth but still creamy. Pour the mixture into a container and freeze to set while you prepare the blue layer. Rinse the blender to avoid color mixing.
- Prepare the Blue Layer: Combine honey, frozen blueberries, rum, and ice cubes in the blender. Blend until smooth and vibrant in color.
- Assemble the Cocktails: Divide the red layer evenly among 2 large or 4 smaller glasses, using a disher or spoon for controlled pouring. Next, gently pour or spoon the white layer on top of the red layer, taking care not to mix the layers. Finally, carefully add the blue layer on top of the white layer to complete the patriotic stack. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use agave nectar instead of honey to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Freezing each layer after blending helps maintain distinct layers when assembling.
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture.
- If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce the honey or agave nectar slightly.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute rum with coconut water or sparkling water.
- Serve immediately after assembly to preserve the layered appearance and texture.
