Santa colada
Ingredients:
* 1 cup of frozen strawberries
* 1 oz strawberry syrup
* 1 oz coconut cream
* 1 oz pineapple juice
* Juice of 1 lime
Place the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
* Tip: To achieve a perfectly creamy consistency, ensure the strawberries are fully frozen and the coconut cream is well-chilled. Adding a few ice cubes can help maintain the texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust if necessary. Add more lime juice for tanginess or strawberry syrup for sweetness.
Decorate the Glass
1. Crush candy canes into fine pieces and place them on a small plate.
2. Take your glass and lightly wet the rim with water or lime juice.
3. Dip the rim into the crushed candy canes, gently pressing to coat evenly.
* Tip: Chill the glass beforehand to help the candy canes adhere better.
Serve and Garnish
1. Pour the blended drink into the decorated glass.
2. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
3. Sprinkle additional crushed candy canesover the whipped cream for a festive touch.
Alternative Garnish Options:
* Add a fresh strawberry or a slice of lime to the rim.
* Use red and green holiday sprinkles for extra flair.
