Frozen Pina Colada Recipe
Description
The Frozen Pina Colada Recipe combines white rum with pineapple juice and cream of coconut to create a smooth, sweet tropical cocktail. Fresh pineapple chunks add natural fruitiness, while the ice blends everything into a frosty texture, ideal for sipping on hot days. Using cream of coconut—a sweetened coconut mix designed for cocktails—ensures a rich, consistent coconut flavor, distinguishing it from unsweetened coconut milk.
The preparation involves blending all ingredients in a high-speed blender until reaching the desired icy consistency, then serving in a stemless wine glass. Additional crushed ice can be added if preferred. Garnishing with a pineapple wedge and a cherry completes the classic presentation.
This recipe allows adjustment of strength and sweetness by adding more pineapple juice if the cocktail feels too potent. Also, it can be prepared using a cocktail shaker instead of a blender, yielding a different but enjoyable texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice
- 2 oz white rum
- 3 oz pineapple juice no sugar added variety, natural
- 1 oz cream of coconut Coco Lopez is a great choice
- 1/2 cup pineapple optional but recommended, fresh, cut up
- pineapple if desired, fresh, for garnish
- cherries if desired, fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Add ice to a high speed blender.
- Add the White rum, Pineapple Juice, Cream of Coconut and Pineapple Chunks to the blender. Blend ingredients until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour into a stemless wine glass and add additional crushed ice if desired. Garnish your Piña Colada with a pineapple wedge and Maraschino cherry!
Notes
- Adjust the cocktail's strength by adding additional pineapple juice if it tastes too strong.
- Can be prepared without a blender by shaking the ingredients in a cocktail shaker for a similar taste.
- Use cream of coconut specifically for sweetness; canned coconut milk will not yield the same flavor.
