Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Juicer
  • Blender
  • Punch Bowl
  • 3 cans of Coconut Milk
  • 2 Pineapples
  • Oranges
  • Limes
  • Malibu Rum
  • Captain Morgans Rum
  • Shredded Coconut
  • Simple Syrup
  1. Step 1

    Get a two whole pineapples. Chop off the top, cut the shell away from the outsides, Core it and slice the flesh into good size chunks. Throw away the top, core and shells. Put Chunks through a blender, preferably a Walker Press, but Juicer will do. You should get about 2 cups of freshly squeezed pineapple juice.
    Add it to the large punch bowl.
    (Now If it in the middle of the winter and you just feel like pretending you are at the beach with your girls, and you are throwing luau theme party and you decide you want to make Pina Coladas but its the middle of the winter and you cant seem to find any fresh pineapples. It is ok to go to the freezer section and get 100% pineapple juice in cans. Now the trick is when adding the frozen pineapple juice to the mixture DO NOT add water. Just put the pure frozen juice in the bowl.)

  2. Step 2

    Slice about six Oranges. Freshly squeeze them. You want to get about 2 cups of juice.
    Add it to the Punch bowl

  3. Step 3

    Slice about 6 Limes. (Key Limes are best, but I understand that they are hard to find). Freshly squeeze them. You want to get about 1/2 cup of juice.
    Add to the punch bowl

  4. Step 4

    Open 3 Cans of Coconut Milk. Make sure that it is Pure Coconut Milk. The taste is defiantly the difference. There is a brand in the grocery store that has pure Coconut Milk.
    Put milk in the Punch Bowl

  5. Step 5

    Add 3/4 L of Malibu Rum to the Punch Bowl

  6. Step 6

    Add 1/4 L of Captain Morgans Spiced Rum

  7. Step 7

    In a sauce pan put 1/2 cup of water, Bring to a boil. Add 3/4 cups of White sugar. Turn heat to a simmer. Stir mixture until dissolved and mixture becomes thick . DO NOT leave this pot unattended.
    Once mixture is thickened. Pour into a separate small bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature.

  8. Step 8

    Get Natural/Organic Shredded Coconut. Pour into another small bowl.

  9. Step 9

    When your guest arrive. Add ice to the punch bowl. Stir and serve in special party cups.

  10. Step 10

    Serving in Special Party Cups. Before serving your wonderful, fresh Pina Colada Mixture to your guest. You want to prepare the Party Cups with a coconut sugar rim.
    Turn the cup upside down. Dip it in the sugar mixture, then dip it in the coconut mixture. Add a slice of pineapple and a cherry for garnish. And don't forget the straw.

  11. Step 11
