Piña Colada garnished with fresh pineapple and cocktail cherry
Creamy and tropical homemade Piña Colada

Piña Colada

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The liquid definition of a tropical holiday. The secret is emulsion: the fat content of the coconut milk, the acidity and fibre of the pineapple, and the ice blended until creamy. If done right, you don't get a watery mess, but a silky, frothy 'milkshake' for adults.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Blender
  • Tall glass (Hurricane)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk (if using dairy cream)

Instructions

1 ✓

Place all ingredients (rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, ice) into the blender.

Tip: If you have fresh pineapple, add a few chunks; the fibres inside stabilize the foam.
2 ✓

Blend on high speed until the ice completely disappears and you have a uniform, creamy drink.

Tip: Crushing the ice chills and thickens the drink. If too thin, add more ice.
3 ✓

Pour into a glass and garnish with the pineapple wedge.

Tip: If not consumed immediately, it may separate (the coconut fat rises to the top). Give it a stir!

Recipe FAQ

Can I use plain milk?
It's not worth it. Coconut milk (or coconut cream) gives the characteristic flavour and thick texture. With cow's milk, it will be thin and tasteless.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml White rum
  • 90 ml Pineapple juice (100%)
  • 30 ml Coconut cream (thick, e.g., from top of tin) or cream
  • 1 cup Ice cubes
  • 1 slice Fresh pineapple (garnish)
