FROZEN PINA COLADA

Categories     beverage

Time 10m

Yield 4 cocktails

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup diced pineapple plus pineapple slices, for garnish
2 ounces coconut cream
2 ounces lime juice plus lime wedges, for garnish
1 1/2 ounces white rum
1 ounce dark rum, plus more for serving
Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a blender with the diced pineapple, coconut cream, lime juice, white rum, dark rum and 1 1/2 cups ice and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the pina colada into 4 glasses, top each with a dark rum floater and garnish with a pineapple slice, lime wedge and maraschino cherry.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple chunks: Fresh pineapple chunks give the pina colada a more intense and flavorful taste compared to frozen or canned pineapple.
  • Choose a high-quality coconut cream: Coconut cream is a key ingredient in pina coladas, so it's important to choose one that is rich and creamy. Look for a brand that uses real coconut and doesn't contain any added sugars or preservatives.
  • Use dark rum: Dark rum adds a depth of flavor to the pina colada that light rum doesn't have. If you don't have dark rum, you can use a combination of light rum and spiced rum.
  • Don't skimp on the ice: Ice is essential for making a frozen pina colada. It helps to dilute the alcohol and make the drink more refreshing. If you don't have enough ice, your pina colada will be too strong and syrupy.
  • Blend until smooth: The best pina coladas are smooth and creamy. Make sure to blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth, with no chunks of ice or pineapple.
  • Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry: A pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry are the perfect finishing touches for a pina colada. They add a pop of color and flavor to the drink.

Conclusion:

A frozen pina colada is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're hosting a party or just relaxing at home, a frozen pina colada is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a tropical drink to enjoy, give the frozen pina colada a try.
