- Step 2
Rinse the blender and add the rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and ice. Blend till creamy and smooth.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip
To make artistic swirls, drizzle a small bit of the second (piña colada) mixture from various heights and angles into the first (strawberry daiquiri) layer instead of pouring it as two layers.
Preparation Tip 2
If the cream of coconut is excessively thick, reheat it gently (in a hot water bath) before blending. This results in a smoother, silkier piña colada cocktail layer without icy clumps.
