PIÑA COLADA - the ultimate vacation drink!
In today's video, I'm making a piña colada! There are a few different ways to mix this one up, and I'm going to show you how I do it. Three flavors come together in the piña colada - coconut, pineapple, and rum. With this recipe, I use both cream of coconut for sweetness and coconut milk to provide a silky texture. For the pineapple, I like a good amount of juice to balance the rich coconut, and because of that I like using fresh juice (canned juice will still taste good). Then for the rum I'm using a nice light rum. Traditionally it would be a Puerto Rican rum, but you should use whatever rum you like - combine it with coconut and pineapple and it's going to be tasty!
Cheers!

How to Make a Piña Colada at Home
Piña Colada Ingredients
1/3 Cup of Coconut Rum (Malibu is my preference)
5 Cups of Ice
1 1/2 Cups Fresh Pineapple (it’s easiest to use precut pineapple)
1 of Pineapple Juice
1/3 Cup Coco Lopez cream of Coconut
Piña Colada Instructions
1. In your blender, combine all of the ingredients starting with the ice. Once all ingredients are in the blender, blend until there are no ice chunks left. Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge.
When making a Piña Colada at home, it’s important to remember to make this recipe your own, you are the bartender, ya know? So if you want more Rum you add more, if you want a thicker consistency you add more ice and less pineapple juice.

Gonna need two of these... | How to Drink
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain, get in here and lets make a perfect Piña Colada already, it's delicious.
**********************************
Yacht rock aside, the origins of the Piña Colada are a bit murky. Legend holds that it's roots are with a pirate by the name of Roberto Cofresí who mixed rum with pineapple and coconut to improve the morale of his crew. I have no doubt that it worked, but I have a hard time buying into there being a straight line between there and the Lito Deck of a modern cruise ship. Some people look down on this drink, consider it to be unsophisticated and unworthy. Those people are wrong, the Piña Colada is incredibly enjoyable. I wonder if they hold the same disdain for a soft serve cone with chocolate sprinkles?
The key ingredient in a Piña Colada is something called Creme of Coconut, most commonly available commercial via Coco Lopez or Coco Réal. Both of these products do the trick and taste great, but neither can be called Craft or Natural. There are recipe's for homemade versions, I can't swear by them, I haven't tested them yet. But if that's of interest to you, I'll provide a link to a recipe in the comments.
Piña Colada
16 oz. of Ice
1.5 oz. -or- 45 ml. Creme of Coconut
1.5 oz. -or- 45 ml. Pineapple Juice
8 oz. Fresh Pineapple Chunk
1.5 oz. -or- 45 ml. Rum
Blend till frappe'd
Serve and garnish
Melt into a sunset.
