Ingredients
Main Ingredients
3/4 cup pineapple juice, unsweetened
1 (15 oz) can Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut
Juice from half a fresh lime
3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup ice cubes
Garnish (Optional)
Fresh pineapple wedges
Maraschino cherries
Instructions
Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, lime juice, frozen pineapple chunks, and ice cubes into a large blender in that order to ensure smooth blending.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth but still thick, creating a creamy consistency without being runny.
Serve and Garnish: Pour the virgin piña colada into serving cups immediately. Garnish each cup with fresh pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries if desired for an attractive presentation.
Notes
For a thinner drink, add a little more pineapple juice or water as needed.
Use unsweetened pineapple juice to control the sweetness of the drink.
The cream of coconut is different from coconut milk and is sweeter and thicker—be sure to use the correct ingredient for authentic flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
