Tropical Piña Colada
Sure it may be a famous (and ever so catchy) song from the late ‘70s, but do we really even have to ask the question. I mean, who doesn’t like piña coladas?!?
Ingredients
- ¾ cup canned light coconut milk*
- 1 ½ ounces rum
- 1 to 2 drops coconut extract
- 1 ½ cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
- 2 wedges fresh pineapple, optional
- 3 to 5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Starting with the liquids first, add all the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Pour into glasses and garnish each with an optional pineapple wedge.
Notes
*Or mix 6 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk with equal parts water to create lite coconut milk.
• In my experience, adding the liquids to your blender first (and saving the pineapple and ice for last), will make blending MUCH easier.
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient. While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
• Similarly, if you're dairy-free, check the ingredient list carefully for any hidden milk products.
