Fresh Pineapple Colada
Fresh pineapple is what makes this pina colada the ultimate frozen cocktail. Close your eyes, take a sip, and picture yourself lounging on a beautiful Puerto Rican beach.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped fresh pineapple
3 oz (6 tbsp) sliver or white rum
1 1/2 oz (3 tbsp) fresh lime juice
3 oz (6 tbsp) cream of coconut
2 oz (1/4 cup) pineapple juice
3 cups ice
1/2 oz (1 tbsp) black strap rum (optional... a must)
Finely grated/shredded toasted coconut for glass rims
Fresh pineapple spears, mint leaves for garnish
Combine first 6 ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Moisten rims of 2 tall glasses with pineapple spear and dip into toasted coconut. Pour mixture into glasses. Top each with 1/4 oz (1 1/2 tsp) black strap rum, if desired (I say it’s a must). Garnish with pineapple and mint.
