Cup of Yum
Notes
- Coconut cream: Look for coconut cream (thick and unsweetened), not cream of coconut (syrupy and very sweet).
- Rum: For even more flavor, substitute coconut rum such as Malibu brand.
- Yield: This recipe makes 4 blended piña coladas.
- Glassware: The ideal glass for a piña colada is a poco grande glass (shown above). It's a similar shape to a hurricane glass but has a longer stem and a smaller cup.
- Over the top: Dreaming of vacation? Get a little crazy and top your piña colada with whipped cream and toasted coconut, too.
