How To Make A Bob Marley Cocktail

This cocktail is easy to make in just a few minutes.

The key to success is making each layer just right.

Blend the Red Layer

• Add light rum, strawberry purée, lime juice, and ice to a blender.
• Blend until smooth and pour into a tall glass, filling about ⅓ of the way.
• Place glass in the freezer to firm up slightly while making the next layer.

Make the Yellow Layer

• Rinse the blender. Add mango/pineapple rum, juice, and ice.
• Blend until smooth. Slowly pour over the back of a spoon to layer on top of the red.

Blend the Green Layer

• Rinse blender again. Add melon liqueur, white rum, lime juice, and ice.
• Blend until smooth. Carefully spoon or pour over the yellow layer.

Serve immediately and garnish with a slice of pineapple, a cherry, or a small tropical umbrella if you’re feeling festive!

 Tips for Perfect Layers

• Freeze between layers for 1–2 minutes to help them firm up.
• Remember you can make each drink in advance. Just place them in the freezer until you are ready to serve them. 
• Use a spoon: Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon for a cleaner separation.
• Ice consistency matters: Too watery and your layers will mix; too chunky and they won’t pour smoothly.
• Color order (Red, Yellow, Green) mimics the Rastafarian flag — a nod to Bob Marley’s roots!
