Description

It’s a vacation in a glass—no passport required. The ultimate piña colada is rich, smooth, and bursting with the sweet tropical goodness of pineapple, coconut, and rum. Blended until perfectly creamy and served icy cold, it’s the kind of drink that makes you want to toss on sunglasses and forget about your inbox. Whether you’re poolside, on the patio, or just stuck inside dreaming of palm trees, this piña colada is the answer to your beachy cocktail cravings.

Ingredients

– 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
– 3 oz white rum (like Bacardi or your fave brand)
– 1/2 cup cream of coconut (like Coco López—not coconut milk)
– 1/2 cup pineapple juice
– 1/4 cup coconut milk (for extra creaminess)
– 2 cups ice
– Pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional but fabulous)

Instructions

Step 1: Load the Blender
Toss the frozen pineapple, rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and ice into a high-powered blender.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high until the mixture is thick, creamy, and smooth—think milkshake consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more juice. If it’s too thin, throw in more ice or frozen pineapple.

Step 3: Serve Like a Pro
Pour into chilled hurricane or cocktail glasses. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cherry if you’re feeling fancy (and why not?).

Notes

Perfect as a signature cocktail for summer BBQs or tropical-themed parties
– Add a paper umbrella or toasted coconut on top for extra flair
– Serve in a hollowed-out pineapple if you’re going full vacation mode
