Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled or frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
  • 2 oz rum white or light rum
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 cup ice cubes for a chilled, frosty texture

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Place the strawberries, coconut milk, rum, honey (if using), and ice cubes into the blender.
  2. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a bright pink, velvety liquid with tiny ice particles.
  3. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and blend again for just a few seconds.
  4. Pour the chilled strawberry colada into glasses, allowing the vibrant pink color to cascade down the sides.
  5. Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a small sprig of mint if desired for a visual pop and extra aroma.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or small cocktail umbrella to enjoy the refreshing, tropical treat.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the amount of honey or rum to suit your taste. Using frozen strawberries can make the drink even cooler without needing extra ice.
