Piña Colada

By ltrodrigu

A classic from Puerto Rico that migrated north in the 1950s, this truly is a vacation in a glass. There are other cream of coconuts out there, but Coco López is the original and really makes the drink.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces rum
• 1 1/2 ounces cream of coconut (preferably Coco López brand)
• 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened pineapple juice
• 4 large chunks pineapple
• 1 pint ice
• Orange slice, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Add rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, pineapple chunks and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth, 30 seconds. Strain into a hurricane glass. Garnish with an orange slice.
