Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Virgin Pina Colada:
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 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, making about 16 ounces, enough for 1-2 people depending on glass size.
- Enjoy the drinks immediately as they will melt if left standing. If too thin, re-blend with ice.
- Chilling glasses before use helps keep the drink cold longer.
- Prep garnishes in advance for quick assembly. Use pineapple wedges, cocktail umbrellas, or maraschino cherries.
- Use Cream of Coconut for a mocktail-like taste.
- For a colorful twist, create a ‘Malibu Sunrise’ by adding grenadine to half the drink for a two-tone effect.
- For an alcoholic version, add rum before blending. For rum flavor without alcohol, use rum extract sparingly.
