How to make the perfect Pina Colada

Whatever the occasion, Pina Colada's are a fun and enertaining way to liven the crowd! The piña colada is a sweet, rum-based cocktail made with hard rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice.

The coconut cream needs to have the right consistancy, some find the alternative, coconut milk to be too thin. The key to a good Pina Colada is coconut cream.

However if there is no coconut cream available to you, an aternative is condensed milk. Mixing 1 tablespoon of condensed milk to coconut milk will have a very similar taste and texture to the coconut cream.
