Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
  • 2 oz silver tequila
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
  • ½ cup ice cubes
  • ½ cup fresh coconut cream (thick part from a chilled can)
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz silver tequila
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ½ cup crushed ice
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz silver tequila
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
  • ½ cup ice cubes
  • Coarse sea salt or sugar for rimming glasses
  • Fresh lime wedges and extra berries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into coarse sea salt or sugar. Set aside to dry for about 5 minutes.
  2. Blend the red layer: combine frozen strawberries, 1 oz lime juice, 2 oz tequila, agave syrup, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend 30-45 seconds until smooth but thick. Pour into glasses filling about one-third. Chill for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Blend the white layer: rinse blender or use a clean jar. Blend coconut cream, 1 oz lime juice, 2 oz tequila, powdered sugar, and crushed ice until creamy and smooth, about 30 seconds. Layer gently over red layer with a spoon. Chill 5-10 minutes.
  4. Blend the blue layer: blend frozen blueberries, 1 oz lime juice, 2 oz tequila, agave syrup, and ice cubes until smooth and thick. Pour slowly over white layer with a spoon. Chill briefly before serving.
  5. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and berries. Serve immediately for best icy texture.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for best icy texture. Pour layers slowly over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct. Chill glasses between layers to help set. Adjust sweetness to taste. For dairy-free, use coconut cream in the white layer. Can substitute tequila with mezcal or vodka. Non-alcoholic version possible by omitting tequila and adding soda water.
