Step-by-Step American Flag Daiquiri Process

Step 1

Blend the Red Layer

In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend until smooth and thick. Transfer the mixture into a container and place it in the freezer to keep it firm while you prepare the other layers.

Step 2

Blend the White Layer

Rinse the blender to prevent color mixing. Add the cream of coconut, white rum, lime juice, and ice. Blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer this mixture into another container and freeze.

Step 3

Blend the Blue Layer

Rinse the blender again. Combine blue curaçao, white rum, lime juice, and ice. Blend until smooth and slushy.

Step 4

Layer the Daiquiris

Take your glasses and carefully spoon or slowly pour the red layer into the bottom of each glass. Use the back of a spoon to gently add the white layer on top, followed by the blue layer. Work slowly to maintain distinct layers.

Pro Tip: Tilt the glass slightly and pour each layer over the back of a spoon for a cleaner separation.

Step 5

Garnish and Serve

Top each drink with a mini American flag, a lime wedge, or even a sprinkle of red, white, and blue sugar for extra flair. Serve immediately while frozen.

Celerio’s Twist

For an extra boost of flavor and fun, consider adding fresh strawberry slices between the red and white layers or a dash of coconut flakes atop the white layer. You can also swap blue curaçao for a berry-flavored blue liqueur if you prefer a slightly sweeter finish.

Additional Tips

  • Keep Layers Firm: Freezing each layer briefly before assembling helps maintain cleaner separation.
  • Adjust Thickness: If a layer is too runny, add more ice and reblend to thicken.
  • Chill Glasses: Pop your serving glasses into the freezer before assembly to help slow melting.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Swap rum for coconut water and blue curaçao for a blue sports drink to make a family-friendly version.

How to Serve

Serve your American Flag Daiquiri immediately after layering to preserve its stunning look. These festive drinks pair wonderfully with grilled foods, fresh fruit platters, and classic Fourth of July favorites like burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob.

Enjoy your celebration with this colorful, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable cocktail!
