![]() ![]() How to serve Pina Colada: in a tulip / Hurricane / highball glass.Virgin Pina Colada: omit the rum completely or check out my Pina Colada Lassi recipe.You will need 7 for one large drink (pictured). To make Pina Colada with fresh pineapple: peel and core the pineapple, freeze 1-inch (2.5 cm) pineapple flesh chunks.From the recipe below you’ll have 1 large drink – an amount that will fill a large Hurricane glass (pictured).PROPORTIONS FOR THE DRINK ARE: 3-2-1 (3 parts pineapple juice – 2 parts coconut rum – 1 part coconut milk) + sugar to sweeten (to taste) + a little lime juice to taste.Cream of coconut is sweetened coconut milk that has stabilizers added in order to prevent it from separating. You can use cream of coconut (from a can) instead of coconut milk.I highly recommend adding it, even just a very small amount. It brightens the whole drink up, makes it refreshing, balances the flavors and sweetness of the drink, and makes it really amazing. Lime juiceĪdding lime juice is optional and not very traditional but this is really my secret ingredient. How to make crushed ice: Place some ice cubes in a thick ziplock bag, close it and pound the bag with a rolling pin or just the bottom of a rum bottle. Depending on the preparation method you’ll need whole ice cubes or crushed ice. I’m using 15 small ice cubes per 1 large drink. I don’t like lots of ice in my drink, I find it dilutes its flavor. If you want to use white rum instead of coconut rum it’s better to use cream of coconut (coconut flavor + more sugar) or just add simple syrup to the drink to sweeten it (combine equal amount of sugar and water, cook until sugar is dissolved then leave to cool). Golden rum or any aged rum could be too bold-tasting for this drink. I find white rum more suitable as it tastes more neutral. ![]() I used coconut rum (Malibu) to incorporate intense coconut flavor. If you want your drink thicker without adding Coco Lopez I would recommend adding fresh frozen pineapple (instructions are in the note section of the recipe card). It does make the drink more creamy and thick, but doesn’t have any flavor and is just fatty.
