I love making Pina Coladas because they are perfect for any occasion. Here's how you can make your own refreshing cocktail with a tropical twist. ππ₯₯
Equipment
- Blender: A good blender is important to mix everything smoothly.
- Measuring cups or jiggers: These help get the right amount of each ingredient.
- Cocktail shaker (optional): While not necessary, a shaker can be fun if you want to mix things up.
- Glassware: You can use any glass, but tall glasses or hurricane glasses are classic choices. Having the right tools will make the process easier and more enjoyable. π
Ingredients
The Pina Colada is delicious and simple to make. You'll need:
- 2 ounces of white rum
- 1 ounce of coconut cream
- 1 ounce of heavy cream
- 6 ounces of fresh pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
Add garnishes like pineapple slices or maraschino cherries for an extra touch. Each ingredient adds to the perfect tropical mix. πΉ
Instructions
Making a Pina Colada is super easy!

- Pour the mixture into your glass.
- Garnish with a pineapple slice or cherry if you like.

Notes
I find using fresh pineapple juice brings out the best flavor, but canned juice works if you're in a hurry.
Make sure to serve your Pina Colada immediately while itβs chilled. If you prefer a more frozen texture, add extra ice to the blender. Feel free to adjust the sweetness or creaminess according to your taste.
Try experimenting with different types of rum to find your favorite flavor! πΈ
