Ice cubes

04 -
Lemon wedge
05 -
Fresh strawberry
06 -
Peep marshmallow (optional, for a fun touch)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start with a nice tall glass - something that shows off those pretty colors in your drink. Fill it about three-quarters full with ice cubes. The ice not only keeps your drink refreshingly cold but also helps dilute the rum just slightly as you sip, creating the perfect balance of flavors.
02 -
Pour in the strawberry lemonade first, followed by the Malibu coconut rum. The sweet, tropical coconut flavor of the Malibu pairs beautifully with the tangy strawberry lemonade, creating a drink that practically screams summer! Give it a gentle stir with a bar spoon or regular spoon to combine everything without disturbing the ice too much.

Now for the finishing touches that make this drink extra special! Slide a lemon wedge onto the rim of your glass for that bit of citrus aroma as you sip. Add a fresh strawberry - either perched on the rim or floating in the drink. And if you're feeling playful, add that colorful Peep marshmallow as a whimsical garnish that's sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

This sweet, fruity cocktail is perfect for sipping on warm summer evenings, at brunches, or anytime you want a taste of tropical paradise.
