A classic pina colada is created using white rum, Coco Lopez coconut cream and pineapple juice – refreshing yet delectable, perfect for warm summer days. To achieve maximum enjoyment from each drink use Coco Lopez coconut cream to balance sweetness with tartness of its ingredients.
Avoid making common errors like using subpar pineapple juice and not garnishing the drink with slices of pineapple and maraschino cherries.
Cream of coconut
Coco Lopez is the cornerstone of this non-alcoholic tropical beverage. You’ll be able to find this brand of coconut cream at most large supermarkets; its product combines coconut milk with its pulp which has been sweetened and processed into a thick syrup form. Coco Lopez comes in many flavors for versatile tropical beverages and dessert recipes; plus you can store the product easily! Plus it even comes in cans!
Pineapple juice adds vibrant, refreshing flavor and a sweet note to any beverage, adding brightness, refreshment, and sweetness. Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C which can strengthen immune systems and decrease inflammation levels within the body. Plus, bromelain enzyme aiding digestion can ensure a healthier digestive system!
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Serve over ice and garnish with pineapple or cherry slices for an enjoyable beach day or pool party experience! This classic dish makes the perfect drink.
Pineapple juice
Pineapple juice is essential to this frozen cocktail’s tropical flair and creamy texture, and can usually be found in most supermarket freezers. If desired, fresh pineapple may also be substituted.
Tiki cocktails feature the combination of rum, coconut and pineapple as a core ingredient. To experience traditional taste buds of Tiki drinks, opt for light-bodied white rum which you can find near the liquor section in most supermarkets.
Avoid using dark or overly sweet rum as this will alter the texture and taste. For the coconut component, Coco Lopez cream of coconut (not regular coconut milk or cream) should be used – you can find it at most supermarkets and online retailers; other brands do not possess the same texture and flavor profile. When mixing ingredients in a blender, be sure to do it thoroughly for best results; once mixed pour into glasses garnishing them with pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries for an elegant touch!
