Ingredients
- Piña Colada
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ cup cream of coconut
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 ounces white rum optional
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice optional
- Garnish
- Pineapple wedges
- Maraschino cherries
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Fresh mint leaves optional
- Cocktail umbrellas optional
Instructions
- Add the frozen pineapple, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, ice cubes, white rum (if using), and lime juice to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until thick, creamy, and completely smooth.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice. If it's too thin, blend in a few more frozen pineapple chunks or ice cubes.
- Pour the Piña Colada into chilled hurricane glasses.
- Garnish with pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, toasted coconut, fresh mint, or cocktail umbrellas.
- Serve immediately while cold and frosty.
Notes
- Use cream of coconut, not coconut milk, for the authentic creamy texture.
- Frozen pineapple creates the thickest, smoothest drink.
- Chill the serving glasses before pouring for a refreshing presentation.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum.
- Add extra frozen pineapple instead of ice for a richer flavor without dilution.
