Classic Piña Colada Recipe:
This formula generates a single tasty piña colada. In case you feel like it, you can increase all the components so as to fill a jug for your friends.
Ingredients:
- 1 ounce white rum
- 1 ounce cream of coconut (Coco Lopez is a popular brand)
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
- Pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries for garnishing (optional)
Instructions:
If you want a super chilled drink, pre-freeze your serving glass for a few minutes.
Combine rum, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice in a blender.
Add crushed ice and blend until smooth and frosty.
Pour into your chilled glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry, if desired.
Blender vs. Shaker?
The classic piña colada, which is actually a blended drink, can also be made as a shaken piña colada if you want it to be less icy and somewhat more sophisticated. Below is how you could go about it:
Use the same ingredients but scale down the ice to just a few cubes.
Put everything together in a shaker with ice for a cocktail.
Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Strain into a chilled glass.
Piña Colada Fun Facts:
The piña colada was first made in Puerto Rico during the 1950s. There are many stories about its beginning but all include a bartender struggling to make good tasty refreshment from what was available around him. The term “piña colada” means “strained pineapple” in Spanish; it’s a throwback to the drink’s main component which is pineapple juice. As compared to coconut milk, cream of coconut is more viscous and sugary; therefore one may consider replacing it for a less dense piña colada. To make it more smoky, use aged rum (añejo) instead of clear rum.
Dominoes and Piña Coladas: A Tropical Pairing
Although not commonly employed in the production of piña coladas, the employment of a set of dominoes can be quite enjoyable in the course of one’s tropical retreat. The following are some suggestions:
While you drink your piña coladas, try the Dominoes game. The game of Dominoes is a vintage game which is easy to understand and relaxed in nature. Use Dominoes as coasters. Add even more life to it by letting a decorative domino support your piña colada glass.
