Instructions
- To the canister of a high speed blender** (See Notes for shaken rather than frozen/blender instructions), add all ingredients (except optional garnishes), and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Divide between approximately 4 glasses, optionally garnish with cherries and/or pineapple wedges***, and serve immediately. Pina coladas are best served fresh.
Notes
- *Use canned cream of coconut. I like to use the Coco Lopez brand of cream of coconut. It’s sweetened and a bit syrupy. Do not use coconut cream which is unsweetened and very thick. Do not use coconut milk. It is much thinner and unsweetened.
- Cream of coconut, coconut cream, and coconut milk all come in cans. Don’t get confused. Select cream of coconut.
- **If you are going to make a shaken pina colada, I recommend 1 1/2 to 2 ounces each of rum and pineapple juice, and 1 ounce of cream of coconut, and either shaking it with ice or pouring over ice cubes in a rocks glass. This is for 1 hand-shaken pina colada. Double, triple, quadruple the recipe as desired.
- ***For those wanting a stronger pina colada, add a floater shot after the pina colada is in the glassware of either gold, dark, or anejo rum.
- Recipe is easily made virgin by omitting the rum and replacing it with pineapple juice as desired.
- Note the recipe is appropriate for those for whom alcohol is legal and safe.
