3. Blend until smooth and pour the mixture into a glass, filling it about a third of the way up.
4. Place the glass in the freezer to set while preparing the next layer.

Step 2: Creating the White Layer

2. Fill the blender with ice again.
3. Add 60 ml Coconut Cream, 120 ml Pineapple Juice, and 30 ml White Rum.
4. Blend until smooth.
5. Carefully pour this mixture over a spoon to layer it gently on top of the blue layer in your glass.
6. Place the glass back in the freezer to set.

Step 3: Crafting the Red Layer

1. Ensure your blender is clean once more.
2. Fill the blender with ice.
3. Add 60 ml Premium Grenadine Syrup, 120 ml Cranberry Juice, and 15 ml Fresh Lime Juice.
4. Blend until smooth.
5. Like the previous step, carefully pour this red mixture over a spoon to layer it atop the white layer.

Final Touch:
Garnish your Patriotic Piña Colada with a slice of pineapple, a maraschino cherry, or even a small American flag toothpick for that extra festive touch. Serve immediately to enjoy at its coolest and creamiest.

Tips for the Perfect Layers:

1. Chill the Glass: Pre-chilling the glass can help keep the layers separate and distinct.
2. Pour Slowly: Pour each layer carefully over a spoon to avoid mixing colours.
3. Thick Consistency: Ensure each blend is thick enough to support the next layer; if too runny, pop it in the freezer briefly.
