Ingredients
For the Strawberry Colada
- 2 cups ice
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 6 ounces pineapple juice
- 4 ounces cream of coconut
For Garnish
- Fresh strawberries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Set aside the fresh strawberries for garnish. Add the ice, frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut to a powerful blender in that order to facilitate smooth blending.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture for about one minute or until completely smooth and creamy. If needed, use a tamper to help move the ingredients for the smoothest texture.
- Serve: Pour the blended Strawberry Colada into two hurricane glasses or your favorite serving glasses.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top each glass with a fresh strawberry and add a straw, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical creation!
Notes
- Frozen strawberries help thicken the drink and enhance the strawberry flavor. If using fresh strawberries, increase the amount of ice for the desired slushy consistency.
- Cream of coconut is essential for the creamy, sweet flavor. Coconut milk can add more coconut flavor, but the texture will be less rich.
- Feel free to adjust sweetness by adding a touch of honey or agave if needed, especially if your fruit isn’t very sweet.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as the drink can separate if it sits too long.
