Glass Guide- Cocktail Glass

Almost everyone has heard of the Piña Colada (thanks in part to the 1979 Rupert Holmes song "Escape (The Piña Colada song)") and almost just as many people have probably tried one. It is one of the most popular tropical cocktails and it is definitely one of the creamiest. You can also check out the Frozen Piña Colada with dark rum or blend with fresh pineapple- same taste, just a whole lot colder.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 2 oz light rum
  • 1 1/2 oz coconut cream
  • pineapple wedge for garnish
  • maraschino cherry for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Pour into a chilled cocktail or collins glass.
  4. Garnish with the pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry.
