Lava Flow

Ingredients...

Method...

Mix the rum and strawberries in a blender. Pour into a chilled hurricane glass. Rinse blender, then blend the rest of the ingredients and pour into the same glass. The two colors should mix along the sides of the glass, creating a flowing lava effect.* Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

The Lava Flow Cocktail

* While this drink looks super cool as-is, it should be stirred and properly mixed before drinking for a better taste experience!

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!

Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
