Nothing shouts tropical island like a pina colada cocktail.
The pina colada comes from Puerto Rico and people can’t quite agree who created the first one.
A traditional Pina Colada recipe is a mix of pineapple juice, coconut cream, and rum. It is served either blended or shaken with ice, garnished with a pineapple wedge.
– Angostura colada: with angostura bitters, and lime juice, topped with whipped cream. – Virgin pina colada: without the rum, the non-alcoholic version. – Scotsman colada: substitute whisky for rum. – Blue Hawaiian: adding blue Curaçao for a distinctive colour.
– 120ml pineapple juice – 60ml white rum – 60ml coconut cream – wedge of pineapple, to garnish (optional) – Ice
– Pulse all the ingredients with a handful of ice in a blender until smooth. – Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a wedge of pineapple.
