I made this for ZWT4 (Africa) and even though I decreased the rum a bit (I thought I had more than I did) it was still a pretty strong drink. I did like the pineapple taste though. Thanks for an easy drink recipe!

My aunt bought a Magic Bullet for me the other day (she loves to buy all those "as seen on TV" kitchen toys for me lol), so I broke it in with this recipe. Very pina colada-y, but more pina, less colada than a pina colada. The vanilla was a nice subtle touch, too. I cut the recipe in half to be sure it would fit in the Bullet cup. I used coconut rum, turbinado sugar, and fresh pineapple. The rum seemed a little strong to me in the first batch (I don't drink alcohol very often), so I cut it down to 1.5 ounces for a half-recipe for the next batch (I had to make it three times once Dad got wind of it lol). Oh, and I tried it once with skim milk before I moved on to the light coconut milk. The skim milk one wasn't bad, but it was greatly improved by the coconut milk IMO. I think I'd even enjoy this non-alcoholic on a very hot day. Thanks for posting!

Great drink! I changed a few things. I cut the brown sugar in half. I used coconut milk and instead of 6 ounces of rum I put the same amount of milk. I am lazy so I used a can of pineapple in its juice, NOT the one with syrup and I drained it before using them. Also, this recipe does not make 4 portions, more like 2. Worth doing this, I was a huge hit. I will make it again tomorrow it was so good! Thank you for sharing!
