Classic Piña Colada

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh pineapple
• 1 cup young coconut flesh or coconut milk
• 1/2 cup cream of coconut
• 4 ounces bacardi rum
• 2 cups ice

Instructions

1. Peel and chop 2 cups of fresh pineapple into chunks.
2. Crack open a young coconut and scoop out the flesh, or use 1 cup coconut milk if preferred.
3. Add the pineapple chunks, coconut flesh or milk, 1/2 cup cream of coconut, 4 ounces Bacardi rum, and 2 cups ice to a blender.
4. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy, about 30-45 seconds.
5. Pour the mixture into chilled glasses and serve immediately.
6. Optional: Garnish with pineapple wedges or maraschino cherries.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add more pineapple juice. Blend in a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture; if too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice.
