STRAWBERRY PINA COLADA
Steps:
- Combine the strawberries, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and crushed ice in a blender and blend until smooth and thick. Serve in a margarita glass or other fun glass and garnish with drink umbrella, whole strawberry, pineapple wedge, and fresh mint leaf.;
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple juice. Fresh pineapple juice has the best flavor and will make your piña colada taste the most authentic. If you don't have fresh pineapple juice, you can use canned pineapple juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Use a good quality rum. The rum is the main ingredient in a piña colada, so it's important to use a good quality rum. Look for a rum that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
- Don't skimp on the coconut cream. Coconut cream is what gives a piña colada its creamy, rich texture. Don't use coconut milk instead of coconut cream, as it will make your piña colada too watery.
- Add a touch of lime juice. A touch of lime juice can help to balance out the sweetness of the pineapple and coconut. It can also help to brighten up the flavor of the piña colada.
- Garnish your piña colada with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry. This will make your piña colada look as good as it tastes.
Conclusion:
The piña 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. So next time you're looking for a tropical drink to enjoy, give the piña colada a try. You won't be disappointed!
