Hawaii's "Lava Flow"

We went to Hawaii in '07 with our good friends that introduced me to my hubby, and my girlfriend and I tried this drink called "Lava Flow", it was soo good...I wish volcanoes really erupted this kinda goodness and everyone would just be happy...literally! I could only remember a few ingredients that the bartender told me...do you really expect me to remember after sipping one of two, or three of these drinks..whos' counting??!! Well anyways, here is my take on it...I think I got it down pat..I would always make this drink at our get togethers back with my friends in Cali...no complaints.

What you will need:
Rum- you can do it with plain rum but I like to use Banana Rum, or Pineapple Rum
Pina Colada Mix
Strawberry Puree Mix
Ice
Umbrella, Pineapple slices, or whatever you want to use to garnish this drink beautifully

That's it! Simple but sooo so good!

Let's get the party started!

In a blender, pour 1 -2 ounces of Pina Colada mix, depends how you like it now! 
Then pour your rum in...I don't measure, it depends how you want  your night to end and how terrible your day has been!
Put the ice in and Blend away!

How do you get that nice red lava on the side of your glass???!!!

Before you put your Rum and Colada mix, pour a just little bit of the Strawberry in your glass. Now move your glass around, so the puree creates swirls on the side of your glass.

Now fill up you glass with the Pina Colada mix in and Voila!

You should have something like this:


This has to be my favorite pic of my hubby and I while we were there...we are not married in this pic but I think everyone thought we were. This was on my birthday when he took me to the Sunset Cruise! It was awesome! This is when I use to severely damage my hair, never again! lol

Aloha! Yeah! I think that was a lava flow right in front of me! Those two are our dear friends. They are stationed in England now and we miss them!

The Craigs!

I had to add this picture because this ice cone was sooo yummy! After you eat all the ice, you get mango flavored ice cream on the inside!
Here are some of our pics from our trip that I would like to share with you:
