Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup cream of coconut see notes

Instructions

  • Add the frozen pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut to a blender and puree until smooth – about 30 seconds on high speed.
  • Serve immediately garnished with a wedge of pineapple.

Notes

  • This recipe can easily be scaled up for as many drinks as you need, it makes about 16 ounces which is enough for 1-2 people depending on the glass you use.
  • Keep in mind that these drinks should be enjoyed immediately as they will melt as they sit. If the drinks become too thin, re-blend them with a handful of ice.
  • Putting your glasses in the freezer helps keep the drink cold longer.
  • Prep your garnishes before making the cocktail to make sure the Pina Coladas don't melt. I use pineapple wedges but you can also use little cocktail umbrellas or maraschino cherries.
  • Use Cream of Coconut to make this drink taste like a mocktail and not like a smoothie!
  • For a fun multi-color drink, blend the drink as directed above and add half of it to a glass. Add a splash (about 2 tablespoons) of grenadine to the remaining half and blend again until combined. This will give you a “Malibu Sunrise” colored drink. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry.
  • Don’t want to make this drink virgin? Add a shot of rum (white, dark, or coconut) before blending.
  • Don't want to add alcohol but want to add some rum flavor? Add a little bit of rum extract for extra flavor
