Layered sunset presentation (golden base + ruby top)

Premium rum for a clean, elegant finish

Real fruit + fresh juice—no artificial mixers

1½ cups frozen strawberries

2 oz (60 ml) top-shelf white rum

¾ oz (22 ml) fresh lime juice

½ oz (15 ml) simple syrup or agave

Instructions
-
Blend the Strawberry Layer
Blend frozen strawberries, rum, lime juice, and syrup until thick and smooth. Set aside. -
Create the Tropical Base
Blend pineapple juice, orange juice, coconut cream, and ice until light and slushy. -
Build the Sunset
Pour the tropical base into a chilled hurricane glass. Slowly spoon or pour the strawberry blend over the back of a spoon so it floats and creates a layered sunset effect. -
Garnish & Serve
Add tropical garnish and serve immediately.
Pro Presentation Tips

Use clear glasses to highlight the sunset layers
-
Pour strawberry layer slowly for sharp color contrast

For a dramatic effect, drizzle ¼ oz grenadine around the glass edge
