Description
The Frozen Miami Vice Cocktail is a tropical layered drink that marries two classic frozen cocktails into one stunning presentation. On the bottom, you have a refreshing strawberry daiquiri layer—packed with sweet-tart strawberry flavor and a hint of lime. On top, a creamy piña colada layer brings smooth coconut and pineapple notes, creating a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. Perfect for summer parties, poolside lounging, or any occasion where you want to transport your guests to a beachside paradise, the Frozen Miami Vice Cocktail is both eye-catching and delicious.
