Pina Coladas

Course Alcoholic, Beverages

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups pineapple juice unsweetened
  • 1 can 15oz cream of coconut
  • 1 1/2 cup light rum

Instructions
 

  • In a 2-qt. pitcher, combine pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and rum. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled. For each serving, add a generous cup of rum mixture and 1 cup ice to a blender. Process, covered, until smooth. Pour into a chilled hurricane or highball glass. Cut a 1-in. slit into the tip of a pineapple wedge; slide wedge over the rim of the glass. This tropical cocktail does use a good amount of rum. Feel free to cut back on the amount and replace it with water or additional pineapple juice if you'd like to make them a little less strong. For a richer, robust flavor, try using dark rum or even spiced rum. Over the years, pina coladas have gotten more and more sweet. This version doesn't include additional sugar but if you'd like it a tad bit sweeter, go ahead and add a tablespoon or two.

Notes

Velvety-smooth texture and a taste of the tropics are what this tropical drink delivers. The easy-to-make drink can be mixed and chilled ahead of time. When ready to serve, just blend for a creamy and delicious beverage
