Miami Vice is a refreshing and visually stunning cocktail that combines the best of two worlds: the sweetness and creaminess of a Piña Colada and the tanginess of a Strawberry Daiquiri.
Make the Strawberry Daiquiri: In a blender, combine the rum, frozen strawberries, lime juice, and simple syrup. Blend until smooth and frothy.
Make the Piña Colada: In a separate blender, combine the rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and frothy.
Assemble the Miami Vice: Pour the Strawberry Daiquiri into a tall glass. Slowly pour the Piña Colada over the back of a spoon so that it floats on top of the Strawberry Daiquiri.
Garnish and enjoy: Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cherry, if desired.
Notes
TipsFor a more intense strawberry flavor, use fresh strawberries instead of frozen strawberries.If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heating over low heat until the sugar dissolves.For a creamier Piña Colada, use full-fat cream of coconut.You can also rim the glass with sugar before adding the cocktails.The Miami Vice is a versatile cocktail that can be customized to your liking.
