The Pina Colada is a favorite frozen drink with pineapple and coconut that saw an increase in popularity after the release of Rupert Holmes' 1979 hit and now karaoke favorite, "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)." I like it with dark rum, but light rums are good too. You may also try the shaken Pina Colada, brandy based Kappa Colada or mocktail Coco Colada.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz dark rum
- 1/2 cup pineapple cubes or 2 oz pineapple juice
- 1 1/2 oz coconut cream
- maraschino cherry for garnish
- pineapple wedge for garnish
Preparation:
- Blend all ingredients with approximately 2 cups of ice.
- Strain into a hurricane glass.
- Garnish with the cherry and pineapple wedge.
