Blackberry Lava Flow Recipe

Some nights when you get home from work, put the kids through the shower, help fix supper, eat supper, and finally sit down, the only thing you want is to go to sleep. Other times, all you want is a piña colada. Last week I had the urge to get out the vita-mix and turn the super-ripe pineapple on the counter into something delicious with a blackberry twist.
To make a lava flow, you have to make two concoctions and pour one into the other to get the swirling effects. If you don't care what it looks like, just throw a few blackberries into your piña colada and call it a day.




Blackberry Swirl Recipe:
1 small carton of blackberries (about 1 cup)
1/4 to 1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup of ice
Sugar to taste (start with 1/4 cup and then see if it needs more)

Piña Colada Recipe:
1 Pinapple cut up
1-2 Ripe Bananas
1/2 Cup of thick coconut milk
1 cup of ice
Sugar to taste (start with 1/4 cup and then see if it needs more)
1/4 cup orange juice (can add more for non-alcoholic smoothie version)
2 shots of rum (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:
Blend up Blackberry swirl. Feel free to adjust amounts to your personal taste (and leave me good suggestions in the comments!) Pour into another container or glass. Next blend up the Piña Colada Recipe, also adjusting amounts to your liking. This recipe is just a starting off point! Into clean glass, pour about 1/4 full with blackberry swirl mixture. Fill the rest of the way with Piña Colada. Add a straw or drink umbrella and enjoy!

Makes about 4 servings

I made mine without rum first then added some to mine after the kids had some. They showed their approval with an empty glass, and so did I.
