Ultra-Tropical Piña Colada Recipe
- 5 ounces (140g) very ripe peeled and cored fresh pineapple, frozen pineapple, or drained canned pineapple chunks (see note)
- 1 3/4 ounces (50ml) unsweetened coconut cream, shaken or stirred well to incorporate fat
- 1 ounce (30ml) simple syrup (see note)
- 3/4 to 1 ounce (20-30ml) fresh juice from 1 lime
- 2 1/2 ounces (75ml) white or gold rum, kept in freezer until freezer-cold
- 4 ounces (115g) ice cubes
- Pineapple slice and/or maraschino cherry, for garnish
- Paper umbrella and straw, for serving (optional)
- In an airtight plastic container, combine pineapple, coconut cream, simple syrup, and 3/4 ounce lime juice, and transfer to freezer until frozen, at least one hour (the sugar in the mixture may prevent it from freezing solid; this is okay).
- In a blender, combine frozen pineapple mixture with ice-cold rum and ice and blend until thick and slushy. Taste, then blend in the remaining 1/4 ounce lime juice, if desired. Pour into a large glass, garnish with pineapple and/or a cherry, and serve, with or without an paper umbrella and straw.
- If you want to make multiple drinks, you can pre-batch up to a double recipe (a blender may not hold much more than that easily) in a single container, then divide after blending; for more than two drinks, use separate containers to hold more servings.
