Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 oz Rum
- 1/2 cup Coconut cream (or coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1/2 tsp Pineapple extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (optional)
- 3 cups Ice
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients:
Gather all the ingredients and measure them out accurately. If using fresh pineapple, ensure it’s cut into small chunks for easier blending. - Combine liquid ingredients:
In a blender, add the rum, coconut cream (or milk), and pineapple extract (if using). These form the base of your cocktail, providing the signature pina colada flavors. - Add pineapple and sweetener:
Add the pineapple chunks and the Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (if using) to the blender. The pineapple adds natural sweetness and texture, while the sweetener allows you to control the sugar content. - Add ice:
Pour in the ice. This will give your cocktail its slushy, frozen texture. - Blend:
Secure the lid on your blender and blend all ingredients until smooth. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender’s power. - Serve:
Pour the blended mixture into glasses. For an extra tropical touch, garnish with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry.
Notes
- For a virgin pina colada, simply omit the rum and add a bit more coconut cream and pineapple juice.
- You can use frozen pineapple chunks to make the drink even frostier.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of pineapple juice.
- For a coconut-forward flavor, use coconut rum instead of regular rum.
