Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (light or regular)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice (100% juice, no sugar added)
Fruits
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
Sweeteners (Optional)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave
Others
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the white rum, unsweetened coconut milk, pineapple juice, frozen pineapple chunks, your choice of sweetener if using, and ice into a blender bowl.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no large ice or fruit chunks remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the drink and add a bit more honey or agave if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again briefly if additional sweetener was added.
- Serve: Pour the pina colada into a chilled glass immediately to enjoy at its freshest and creamiest.
- Garnish (Optional): Add a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry on the rim of the glass for a festive presentation.
Notes
- To make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum for a virgin pina colada.
- For a lighter drink, substitute coconut water in place of coconut milk.
- If you want a thicker texture, add more frozen pineapple chunks or reduce the amount of ice used.
