A good day on the beach calls for a good drink to go with it. This is the Beach Towel.
Prep time : 5 minutes

Layered cocktails are great. If you have never tried one before then the Beach Towel is a great chance to try one out for the first time. The cool thing about layered drinks, is usually when you drink them the flavours come in waves and often compliment each other really well. In this case Strawberry and Banana make for a killer combination of sweet fruity goodness and creamy texture.
The Beach Towel has two delicious layers to it. The first is a Red layer with a sweet Strawberry taste to it, along with the other ingredients it makes for a nice fruity follow up to the top layer. This top layer is the White layer which carries a creamy Banana flavour to it thanks to the use of cream of coconut. If you really want to get the most out of the sweetness of this layer , we suggest using a cream of coconut such as Coco Lopez which has more sugar in it and is made for making creamy cocktails such as Pina Coladas.
On top of its amazing flavour this cocktail has an eye catching colour separation similar to the way many beach towels look (hence the name). We highly recommend you try this one out !
