True Blood Premiere Night Cocktail With June 26th right around the corner, it’s time to start gearing up for the guilty pleasure that is HBO’s True Blood.  This sinfully good cocktail (also known as a Lava Flow) will be perfect for True Blood premiere parties or even just solo viewings.  I have a feeling this might become a Sunday night tradition… True Blood Recipe: There are numerous variations for making this drink.  This biggest difference is that some recipes use 1 oz. of light rum and 1 oz. of Malibu® coconut rum. When Malibu® coconut rum is unavilable you can use 1 1/2 oz. of light rum and 1/2 oz. of coconut cream. Prep Time: 05 minutes Cook Time: 05 minutes Total Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: * 1 oz. light rum * 1 oz. Malibu® coconut rum * 2 oz. fresh or frozen strawberries * 1 small banana * 2 oz. unsweetened pineapple juice * 2 oz. coconut cream Preparation: Blend the 2 rums and the strawberries in a blender to form a smooth paste. Pour this mixture into a tall (Collins or Hurricane) glass. Rinse the blender. Blend the banana, the coconut cream, and the pineapple juice in blender with crushed ice until smooth. Pour this mixture into the glass with the rums very slowly and watch as the strawberry mixture oozes its way to the top along the sides of the glass creating the flowing red effect.
