Miami Vice

The Miami Vice is a frozen blended cocktail made with rum. It is perfect for sipping in hot weather. It is sweet, refreshing and visibly tropical. To make this cocktail, it is a combination of a strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Colada. Have a pitcher handy if you only have one blender; as you need to reuse it to make the second flavor.

Ingredients:

2 oz. White Rum

2 oz. Malibu Rum

3/4 oz. Triple Sec

1 1/2 oz. Cream of Coconut

2 oz. Pineapple Juice

10 sliced strawberries

1/2 Lime, freshly squeezed

Directions:

Pina Colada Layer:

In blender, combine 1 1/2 cups of crushed ice, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and Malibu rum. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Strawberry Daiquiri Layer:

In blender, combine 1 1/2 cups of crushed ice, sliced strawberries, fresh lime juice, white rum and triple sec. Blend until smooth.
