1. Blend the Base
– In a powerful blender, combine 3 oz (90 ml) of light rum, 1 cup (250 ml) of pineapple juice, 3 oz (90 ml) of cream of coconut, and 2 cups of ice.
– Blend until the texture is smooth and frothy, making sure there are no ice chunks remaining.

2. Separate for Colors
– Divide the blended mixture evenly into three bowls.
– Add a drop of blue gel food coloring to the first bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
– In the second bowl, mix in purple gel food coloring.
– In the third bowl, combine the mixture with pink gel food coloring.

3. Layer the Colors
– Grab a clear tall glass to showcase the gradient.
– Pour the purple layer into the glass first, tilting the glass slightly to create a swirling effect.
– Gently spoon the pink layer on top of the purple layer to avoid mixing.
– Finish with the blue layer on top for a beautiful gradient galaxy effect.

4. Add the Galactic Touch
– Sprinkle a small amount of edible glitter on top for a shimmering, starry effect.
– Garnish the drink with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry for a tropical look.
– Use a cocktail umbrella or decorative straw for an additional celestial vibe.

5. Tips for Success
– Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors and to keep the mixture from becoming too runny.
– If the drink starts melting during the layering process, freeze it for ten minutes before continuing.
– Adjust the intensity of the colors by modifying the drops of food coloring.

6. Serving and Presentation
– Serve the Galaxy Colors Piña Colada immediately to preserve the vibrant layers and frothy consistency.
– Pair it with light tropical snacks or desserts for a complete themed experience.
