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!

SERVES 1 , 1 Pina Colada (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces white rum
1 ounce dark rum
1 1/2 ounces coco lopez coconut cream (in can)

3 ounces pineapple juice
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 maraschino cherry, to garnish
1 pineapple slice, wedge, to garnish

Directions

1
Pour ingredients into a blender and blend for 15 seconds with, or without ice (up to you).
2

I gotta say that this was really good! Here it is, 10:00 PM, I was sitting thinking about my Jamaican vacation, and how depressed I was that's it has been a while, then I made a whole blender full, put the contents into my 64 ounce thermal mug, and maybe because it's kickin in, but I feel a lot better right now. Thank you and no problem mon!

My husband was looking for a good pina colada recipe so I found this one for him. We had all the ingredients on hand except for the bitters. He made a whole pitcher of this. The key is the coconut cream (which I can actually drink on it's own it's that good). He will definitly be making this again and again. Thanks for the great recipe NcMystery!

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!
