- Prepare the Glass:
- Fill a glass with ice cubes to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a blender, combine the white rum, pineapple juice, and coconut cream.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend:
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add more pineapple juice or a splash of water to thin it out.
- Pour:
- Pour the blended Piña Colada into the chilled glass.
- Garnish:
- Garnish the Piña Colada with a pineapple slice or wedge and a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick.
- Serve:
- Serve the Piña Colada immediately, and enjoy!
Variations:
- You can use coconut milk instead of coconut cream for a lighter version of the cocktail.
- For a frozen Piña Colada, blend the ingredients with more ice until slushy.
- To make a virgin Piña Colada, simply omit the rum and increase the amount of pineapple juice and coconut cream.
Piña Coladas are best enjoyed on a hot summer day or as a tropical treat any time of the year. Cheers!
