How to Make a Dirty Pina Colada

Maybe you've had a nice pina colada in Hawaii, or possibly a lovely one made right in your own blender, but have you ever had a "dirty" pina colada? Try it for a twist on an old favorite!

Things You'll Need

• Dark Rum
• Light rum
• Cream of Coconut (Not coconut milk! Cream. Try 'Coco Lopez' brand)
• Pineapple Juice (Dole makes a great juice)
• Blender
• Crushed ice or ice cubes
• Shot glass
• Measuring cups
• Garnish: Paper umbrellas, pineapple slices, maraschino cherries, olive picks (like plastic swords)

Instructions

1. Fill your blender half way with ice.

2. Pour 1/2 cup of cream of coconut over ice.

3. Pour 1/2 cup of pineapple juice over ice.

4. Pour 1/3 cup light rum over ice.

5. Blend. If it's too watery, add more ice and reblend. It should be a thick but pourable slush.

6. Pour into glasses until there's only a 1/2 inch of room left at the top of the glass. There are pina colada-specific glasses, but any good wine glass will do.

7. Fill a shot glass with dark rum and pour over top of the white pina colada -- the dark rum should make nice brown rivers down the inside of the glass.

8. Garnish with paper umbrellas, and a skewered slice of pineapple with a cherry.

9. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• If you'd like to weaken the drink, leave out the light rum -- just use the dark rum poured over the top. And by the way, don't drink and drive. It's just not cool anymore.

• This is a potent drink. Beware -- it tastes very fruity and can sneak up on you.
