A quick and easy creamy piña colada cocktail recipe that blends fresh pineapple juice and rich coconut cream for a smooth, tropical drink perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) white rum
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups (240360 ml) crushed ice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry for garnish

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) fresh pineapple juice, 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut cream, 1/2 cup (120 ml) white rum, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice. Have 1 to 1 1/2 cups (240-360 ml) crushed ice ready.
  2. Add pineapple juice, coconut cream, rum, simple syrup, and lime juice into your blender. Pulse a couple of times to combine the liquids smoothly, about 15 seconds.
  3. Pour in the crushed ice and blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is creamy and thick but still pourable. Add a splash of pineapple juice or coconut water if the texture is too thick.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if needed. If the drink feels too thin, add a bit more coconut cream and blend briefly again.
  5. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use quality coconut cream for best texture. Fresh pineapple and lime juice brighten the flavor. Crushed ice blends better than cubes for a silky texture. Adjust sweetness last and avoid overblending to prevent warming or watery texture. Chill glasses beforehand for a colder drink.
