Ingredients
- 5 ounces fresh pressed pineapple juice
- 6 large fresh or frozen strawberries (6 ounces)
- 4 ½ ounces light rum
- 2 ½ ounces cream of coconut
- 2 ounces fresh lime juice
- Large pinch salt
- 8 ounces ice (about 8 cubes)
Instructions
- Freeze pineapple juice in 1-ounce cubes until frozen solid, about 4 hours. If using fresh strawberries, freeze those as well.* If you don’t have time to freeze, simply add the juice and strawberries to the blender fresh and use more ice.
- In a blender, combine frozen pineapple juice, strawberries, rum, cream of coconut, salt and ice. Blend until thick and smooth.
- Divide between 2 Collins glasses, add more ice as needed and garnish with a lime wedge.
Equipment
Notes
*freezing the pineapple juice and strawberries is optional. If you’re short on time, you can simply use fresh of both, though you’ll need more ice to thicken it up.
For a regular piña colada with strawberry: use fresh strawberries, fresh pineapple juice and no ice. Strain the cocktail over ice before serving.
Cream of Coconut is an absolutely dreamy ingredient. Think sweetened condensed milk made with coconut milk. It’s thick, it’s sweet and it’s very coconutty. Do not try to substitute with regular coconut milk.
If you don’t have limes, use lemons. Just as tasty.
