Island Pina Colada

Recipe #166948 | 5 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 1 , 1 Pina Colada (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: NcMysteryShopper

Ever wonder why the Piña Coladas you make at home taste nothing like the ones served at your favorite tropical destination? Most recipes simplify the colada into a mixture of rum, pineapples & ice with a splash of coconut milk. A flavorful Piña Colada has two kinds of rum (light and dark), cream and even bitters added which make the concoction a true tropical delight. Use high quality Puerto Rican rum in this recipe for the best result. Enjoy!

    Exactly how a pina colada should taste! With one sip you are taken to the tropics for a mini taste vacation! I made this without ice, however blended with the ice would be equally refreshing. Thanks so much for another wonderful beverage recipe, NCMysterShopper!

    It's been a long time since I've had a Pina Colada, and this one hit the spot. This one's got it all - and don't leave out the bitters - absolutely essential, imo.

    The flavors were mellow and delicious. A smooth, cold drink to chase away that summer heat. Thanks for sharing another winner. We sucked these down quickly!
