- You can also use frozen pineapple chunks instead of fresh pineapple juice. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- For a virgin piña colada, omit the rum and add an extra 1/2 cup of pineapple juice.
- Garnish your piña coladas with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, or a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
