Instructions
To make a refreshing Pina Colada, begin by cutting the pineapple in half. From here, cut the hard core out of the quartered pineapple pieces with a sharp knife. Next, use the knife to separate the soft pineapple flesh from the tough skin. Slice the pulp into thick chunks, making it easier to blend.
Transfer the pineapple chunks into a blender, followed by the coconut milk. Blend everything together until it forms a thick, creamy mixture. Once your mixture reaches the perfect consistency, measure 30g of white rum and add it to the pineapple and coconut cream.
Pour the Pina Colada mixture into a serving glass, making sure it fills about halfway. Now, for the garnish: take the top tuft of the pineapple slice you’ve used for the drink and carefully slice it down the middle lengthwise. Make a small incision at the base of the tuft so that it can sit neatly on the edge of your glass.
Finish the garnish with a cherry placed on top of the pineapple tuft. This simple but elegant touch will add color and flair to your Pina Colada, making it as beautiful as it is delicious.
Your Pina Colada is now ready to be enjoyed! Whether you’re sipping by the beach or relaxing at home, this tropical delight is bound to brighten your day.
Tips for Perfection:
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the pineapple pulp before blending, though itβs not necessary if you like the natural fiber.
- For a chilled drink, you can add ice cubes to the blender along with the pineapple and coconut milk for an even cooler beverage.
- For a twist on the classic, experiment with adding a splash of lime juice or a few pieces of frozen mango for a refreshing variation.
This Pina Colada is a delightful, tropical beverage that’s perfect for any occasion, from a sunny afternoon to a festive celebration. Enjoy the creamy, sweet combination of pineapple, coconut, and rum that embodies the essence of island life!
