Do you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain? Making love at midnight and cheesy love song refrains? Here’s how to satisfy your tropical thirst — for the other stuff, check a dating service.
You Will Need
- 2 oz. light rum
- 1 oz. crème of coconut
- 3 oz. fresh pineapple
- 1 c. ice
- An extra slice of pineapple
- A Maraschino cherry
- A measuring jigger
- A blender
- And a tall glass
- 3 oz. canned pineapple or pineapple juice
- 3/4 oz. dark rum or fruit liqueur
- A long spoon
- And a small paper umbrella
Step 1: Pour into blender
Pour the rum, crème of coconut, and fresh pineapple into the blender.
3 oz. of canned pineapple will work just as well, but rinse it in cold water first to get rid of that canned flavor. If you’re really desperate, use pineapple juice.
Step 2: Blend
Add the ice and blend on high for about 15 seconds, or until you don’t hear the ice cubes rattling anymore. Your drink should look smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Pour into glass
Pour the drink into the glass.
For some added zing, float a half a shot of dark rum or a fruit liqueur into your drink by pouring it slowly over the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Garnish
Garnish with a Maraschino cherry, pineapple slice, and—for the full tropical effect—a tiny paper umbrella.
The Piña Colada is the official drink of Puerto Rico—though an earlier version originated in Cuba.

Sodastream is a great product that I highly recommend. I myself am a fan of seltzer and soda. There is nothing better than fresh home made soda. With SodaStream Soda Makers you can put as much syrup as you like. I was able to by mine at a discount along with free shipping here http://www.seltzer-maker.com
