About this deal
To make Pina Colada with fresh pineapple: peel and core the pineapple, freeze 1-inch (2.5 cm) pineapple flesh chunks. You will need 7 for one large drink (pictured). It would be hard for someone to smell and taste the piña colada and not be instantly transported to a vacation,” Conley says. “There is something about that feeling you get when you take a sip of a tropical drink that transports you from the mundane to an exotic escape.”
My perfect Piña Colada recipe is refreshing, not too sweet, and tastes distinctly like coconut and pineapple. I’ve tested many drink variations and below I will explain which ingredients I’ve chosen and why. 1. PineappleMaking the drink with store-bought pineapple juice is easier than with fresh pineapple. It requires less work (peeling and chopping the pineapple), you can also enjoy the drink right away (the fresh pineapple needs to be frozen first).
The typical piña coladausually involves a plastic cup on a beach, beads of condensation falling down the side, a wedge of pineapple perched at the top, and the feel of coconut-flavored ice crunching between your teeth. How to serve Pina Colada: in a tulip / Hurricane / highball glass. You can decorate the glas with pineapple wedges / leaves and a maraschino cherry. 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. You can use either pineapple juice or fresh pineapple – I’m providing two variations of the recipe below.The original recipe calls for white rum. I used coconut rum (Malibu) to incorporate intense coconut flavor. Some recipes also call for golden rum. I find white rum more suitable as it tastes more neutral. Golden rum or any aged rum could be too bold-tasting for this drink. If you are planning on having a drink or two yourself with one other person, single-serving cans or smaller bottles work well. For multiple people, grab a larger bottle to mix up a big batch in the blender. Keep in mind, however, that some brands are more concentrated than others: A single drink might call for 4 ounces of mix, or it might only need an ounce or two. It makes the most sense to think of the size in terms of number of servings the mix can make rather than the number of ounces in the bottle.
