“You’ve got to know the rules before you can break ‘em,” Sonny Crockett once quoted in the 80’s hit drama series Miami Vice. One of our specialty adult smoothies available at the poolside bar is the “Miami Vice”: a mixture of Strawberry Daiquiri and Piña Colada. It breaks all the rules by combining two wonderful flavors into one drink! Below you’ll find the recipe if you would like to DIY this drink at home. If you’d rather we make it for you, the outdoor bar at the Sea Lion Café is open Friday through Sunday.

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen strawberries

• 2 oz fresh lime

• 1 oz simple syrup

• 4 oz Malibu Coconut Rum, divided

• 4 oz cream of coconut

• 4 oz pineapple juice

• 4 cups ice

• Garnish: pineapple slice

1. In a blender, add 2 oz rum, strawberries, lime juice, simple syrup, and 2 cups of crushed ice. Blend until smooth.

2. Pour into a hurricane glass or pint glass and set in the freezer.

3. In a clean blender, add the remaining 2 oz of rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and 2 cups of ice. Blend until smooth.

4. Pour into the hurricane glass with the strawberry mix so it has a layered effect.

5. Garnish with a pineapple slice.

Bonus: You can also add a shot of rum to the top as a floater!
