Quench your thirst with this mouth watering strawberry coconut rum beverage. Start with a chilled glass. Add crushed ice half way. Then add two strawberry slices. Fill with more crushed ice. Add two more strawberry slices, then pour over ice a shot of coconut rum. Delicious! For a non-alcoholic beverage replace the rum with fruit juice.
