Bob Marley Drink
My frozen Bob Marley cocktail has three different fruity layers. This gorgeous mixed drink tastes like the best adult slushie ever!
I love relaxing outside in the summer with an ice-cold fruity drink. Some of my favorites are strawberry daiquiris, amaretto sours, Bahama mamas, and blue lagoons. This Bob Marley drink is my new favorite. It is perfect for picnics, pool parties, or just cooling off after some yard work.
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Rum: I prefer to use white rum. Avoid dark rum, which can be too overpowering in a fruity drink. I like Bacardi or Plantation.
- Use Leftovers In: Miami Vice, Blueberry or Strawberry Mojitos
- Grenadine: Originally made with pomegranates, it has a tart and sweet flavor. Look for it near the mixers and tonic water at your grocery store.
- Midori: Midori is a bright green liqueur that tastes like honey dew. Look for it near the cordials or schnapps.
- Use Leftovers In: Midori Sours
- Strawberries: Fresh or frozen will work well.
- Pineapple: Avoid canned pineapple if possible which may be too sweet from the syrup it is packed in. Fresh or frozen both work.
- Lime: Use freshly squeezed if possible.
- Simple Syrup: This is just equal parts sugar and water. It is easy enough to make yourself, or you can buy it near the cocktail mixers.
Best of both worlds
Freeze your own fruit for the flavor of fresh fruit but the perfect texture of frozen fruit.
Krystle's Tips
- Lime Hack: Get the most juice from your limes by rolling them on the counter or microwaving them for 20-30 seconds.
- Skip Blending: If you don't want to blend your layers you can also pour each color over the back of a spoon for a cool layering effect.
- Use Crushed Ice: If you have crushed ice, use it, as it blends easier and gives the drink a fluffier texture.
- Adjust Ice: Add more ice for a slushier drink and less for a thinner drink.
Perfect Layers Every Time
Clean Your Blender: Rinse your blender out between layers to avoid accidentally combining your colors.
