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!

Very refreshing, not for those who don't like rum. Next time ,We will try coconut rum. Used fresh sweet pineapple.

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!

Even using canned pineapple here in Iceland because I had to, this was so tasty. I did have coconut milk on hand (keep it for curries), so was able to get that pina colada thing goin on. Boy did I ever need a smooth & relaxing respite from the frantic cooking pace too! Enjoyed it a lot. Thx for posting.

Yummmm...Used good coconut milk, fresh pineapple and plain white rum. Next time I will add a bit more ice and maybe 1/2 cup more pineapple. I definitely would use coconut milk as opposed to regular milk or cream. Will drink this one again!! Thanks NCMS!!

This was yummo!! I used very ripe, fresh pineapple. I did not have coconut milk, so I subbed the milk with coconut extract added. Ditched the alcohol, though I know some of you'll will feel I ruined it by doing that, but it was wonderful to me. With high heat and humidity going on, it was a welcome treat to my family, especially my littlest one who LOVES pineapple!! Thanks for a quick and easy treat. = )

Made for ZWT4...OMG!!! This was wonderful. I left out the rum since there were 7 kids over that were going to have this by the pool. I will have to make it again for hubby and I and include the rum.
