Instructions
Step 1: Make the Red Layer
- In a blender, add frozen strawberries and ice. Pour in 2 oz of rum, 1 oz lime juice, and a splash of simple syrup. Blend until smooth. Pour into the bottom of each glass and freeze for a few minutes to set.
- Marina’s Tip: Freeze between layers to keep them from mixing together!
Step 2: Make the White Layer
- Rinse the blender, then blend coconut cream with ice, 2 oz rum, and 1 oz lime juice. Gently spoon this layer on top of the red one.
Step 3: Make the Blue Layer
- Blend frozen blueberries, ice, blue curaçao, and the rest of the rum. Slowly pour it on top of the white layer using the back of a spoon to keep the layers neat.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Top with fresh berries and a cute mini American flag. Serve with a straw and enjoy immediately.
