Thanks to the inclusion of coconut rum, it's difficult to detect any taste of alcohol in this extra creamy-delicious Piña Colada. The rum may be left out altogether for a delightful tropical drink your entire family will enjoy!

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces cream of coconut
4 ounces pineapple juice
1 1/2 ounces rum (Bacardi Gold)
1 1/2 ounces coconut rum (Malibu)
2 cups crushed ice

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients in blender until smooth; pour into glasses; garnish with pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries if desired.
  • Note: This recipe is my adaptation of "The Authentic Piña Colada" printed on back of the Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut® can, which is the same as this but uses all (3 ounces) regular rum only ~ It's a great drink but I just love the inclusion of part coconut rum to make it even better!

  • If you don't have any coconut sugar, you can use brown sugar or granulated sugar instead.
  • Garnish the pina colada quinoa with fresh pineapple, coconut flakes, or maraschino cherries.
  • Serve the pina colada quinoa warm or cold.
