Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz. light rum
  • 2 oz. pineapple juice
  • 2 oz. cream of coconut e.g., Coco López

Instructions

  • In a blender, add light rum, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut.
  • Add about 1 ½ cups of ice and blend everything until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the mixture into a glass, garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cocktail cherry, and enjoy your refreshing Piña Colada!

Notes

  • A powerful blender will help you achieve a super smooth and frosty cocktail. For an even icier touch, crush and chill the ice beforehand. In fact, you may want to do this anyways, as your blender may not be up to the task of chipping away at larger ice cubes.
  • Never use tinned pineapple; slice it fresh. It will look and taste great.
  • If you find your Piña Colada a bit too sweet, add a splash of fresh lime or some unsweetened whipped cream.
