Remember your last beach vacation and sipping a classic piña colada in the cabana while watching the surf play with the sand?

Easy Piña Colada Recipe

A homemade pina colada cocktail is pretty easy to make, and this is the best piña colada recipe you will ever try. Honestly! You just add all the ingredients into a blender and turning it on, then pour. Garnish with cherries, fresh pineapple chunks, or pineapple slices, and there you are, sipping a delicious drink that reminds you of your favorite vacation spot, but in your own backyard!

The Pina Colada is a fabulous summer drink. Perfect for sitting in the backyard and sipping on a fine summer day.

This is one pretty drink. This is a blended piña colada. It pours white on white with the crushed ice coming to the top. It is not quite a frozen pina colada recipe, more like a velvety-smooth texture that is icy.

What amazes me when I make these classic drinks, is not only how simple they are to make (much less complicated than you’d think), but how much better these homemade drinks taste than what I order in a restaurant or bar. That’s kind of sad when you think of the upcharge (and profit) on alcoholic beverages when dining out, and the fact that they are made by professional bartenders! It just goes to show how terrible the liquid and powder mixes can be. I recently tossed all the ones we had in the house, and I am glad I did.

Tips and variations for making this easy Piña Colada Recipe

● I have a Blentec blender. Your blender may take longer than 15 seconds for the ice to crush and everything to mix well.
● Use any type of coconut rum you like such as Bacardi, Captain Morgan, etc. Malibu (coconut flavored liqueur) will also work.
● Some people like to use light rum, dark rum, spiced rum, or white rum to make a pina colada. The perfect cocktail is in what tastes best to you. Just realize that if you deviate from my original recipe, the taste will change.
● Garnish with maraschino cherries, a paper umbrella, sweet pineapple wedge, slice or chunks, etc… something tropical.
● There is no need to add sweetener to this easy pina colada recipe as it is sweet enough as it is.
● Leaving out the rum to make a virgin pina colada is possible. Use some sort of rum flavoring to make your piña colada mocktail, however.
