How to Make a Perfect Pina Colada

When winter is at its coldest, host a tropical theme party. For best results, serve these pina coladas.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 12 oz. collins glass
• Bacardi light rum
• Bacardi 151
• Bacardi Amber rum
• 1 can crushed pineapple
• 1 can cream of coconut
• 1 bag crushed ice
• blender
• strainer
• sliced pineapple
• maraschino cherries

1. Chill your collins glasses in the freezer for about 30 minutes preceding the party. Check to make sure that your freezer does not have any bad smells in it. Get your blender all cleaned up and ready to go. Open the cream of coconut and the can of pineapples.

2. Blend 3 oz. Bacardi light rum, 1 oz. Bacardi light rum, 3 tablespoons cream of coconut, 3 tablespoons crushed pineapple, and 2 cups of crushed ice. Blend on high for about 15-20 seconds only.

3. For a thicker mixture, I prefer to use condensed milk. This produces a superior pina colada. This method may require a longer blend time. For a better taste, use fresh pineapple and run it through a food processor prior to blending.

4. Pour the entire blended mixture through a strainer and into the chilled collins glass. Float some 151 on the top. Garnish with a slice of pineapple, a cherry, or both.
