Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Lava Flow Drink

In a blender, combine 2 cups of frozen strawberries, 1 ounce of light rum, and 1 ounce of coconut rum. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth. Transfer the strawberry base into a container and set aside.
Rinse the blender and add 1 ripe banana, ½ cup of cream of coconut, 1 cup of pineapple juice, and 1 cup of ice. Blend until creamy and smooth, achieving a thick consistency.
Pour the strawberry mixture into a glass, then gently pour the creamy banana layer over the back of a spoon to keep the layers distinct.
Garnish with a fresh slice of pineapple and a cocktail umbrella. Serve immediately.
