If it’s warm out and you’re looking for something refreshing, a Pina Colada is your drink. The good news? There’s never a wrong time or season to drink it. And no matter what time of year you’re planning on making it, this tropical drink is sure to be a hit at your next party. It’s delicious, it’s easy to make, and it’ll impress your friends.
The key to making a great Pina Colada is using the right ingredients: good white rum, pineapple juice (not the syrup!), some coconut cream, and a little bit of lime juice. You can also add some crushed ice if you want an extra-cold drink; just make sure not to overdo it because you need room for all those delicious ingredients!
It’s common to use a blender, but if you really want to wow your friends, we recommend making this drink in a cocktail shaker! This step is key for getting a velvety texture that turns your pina colada into an experience they’ll never forget. We like to make pina coladas in a cocktail shaker because that way we get a smooth, velvety texture without any chunks or clumps.
