How To Make A Tropical Pina Colada

Put the ice in a blender. Grind it until the pieces are at least half the size of a pea. Any ice pieces smaller than that may melt too fast and make the pina colada watery. If you have shaved ice, just wait to mix it with everything else. The smoother the ice, the easier it will pass through a straw.

Add a third each of the coconut cream, pineapple juice and rum to the blender. Mix all ingredients for 10 seconds. Add another third and repeat twice. This ensures a nice even mix of all the key ingredients so that your drink isn't too heavy on pineapple or coconut. If you want it heavy on rum, you should add it afterward.
