Questions about Pina colada
How do you make a piña colada at home?
Blend 60 ml white rum, 30 ml cream of coconut, 90 ml pineapple juice and a large handful of ice until smooth. For a less frothy drink, shake the ingredients hard with ice and strain into a chilled glass.
Can you make a piña colada without alcohol?
Yes. Leave out the rum and blend pineapple juice, cream of coconut and ice; add a squeeze of lime to balance the sweetness. It is often called a virgin piña colada.
Should you use coconut milk or cream of coconut in a piña colada?
Cream of coconut gives the drink its classic rich, sweet taste. Coconut milk is thinner and less sweet, so the result will be lighter; add a little sugar syrup if needed.
Can you make a piña colada with fresh pineapple?
Yes: use ripe pineapple chunks with ice, rum and cream of coconut, and blend until smooth. Fresh pineapple makes a thicker drink, so add a splash of pineapple juice if the blender struggles.
Can you make piña coladas ahead of time?
You can mix the rum, pineapple juice and cream of coconut and keep the mixture covered in the fridge for up to a day. Blend or shake it with ice just before serving, since ice melts and dilutes the drink.
What food goes well with a piña colada?
Its sweet pineapple and coconut flavours pair well with spicy food, grilled prawns and jerk-style chicken. Fresh lime or a salty snack also balances the sweetness.
Where does the piña colada come from?
The piña colada is strongly associated with Puerto Rico, where it became a celebrated cocktail. Its name means “strained pineapple” in Spanish.
