The piña colada is a sweet and tasty cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice. It can be blended, frozen, or mixed with ice, depending on your preference. The piña colada has been the official drink of Puerto Rico since 1978, but you can enjoy this tropical beverage from the comforts of your own home. If you want to know how to make a simple colada, just follow these steps.
1. Put one cup crushed ice in a blender.
2. Add one oz. of coconut cream to the blender. This will add a hint of coconut to your tasty drink without overwhelming it.
3. Add 2 oz. of white rum to the blender. This alcohol will give the piña colada the kick you're looking for. For a virgin piña colada, you can skip this step.
4. Add 3 oz. of pineapple juice to the blender.
5. Blend the ingredients together. Put the blender on medium and blend all of the ingredients together until they're incorporated. The piña colada should be smooth, sweet, and creamy.
6. Pour the piña colada into a glass, or coconut...
7. Garnish. Garnish the drink by adding a slice of pineapple to the glass. You can also put a maraschino cherry into the drink. Enjoy this beverage on a hot summer's day - or any time at all.
8. Finished. Enjoy...
