When I blended it, the coconut particles separated out into a thick crust on top of the pineapple / rum. I noticed most other recipes call for coconut cream. I will try that next time.

posted by Tom Jacobs @ 08:57PM, 5/07/06 Finishing touches As per the coconut milk separating... try a few different things, one is light coconut milk, shake the can like crazy before you add it. (I think this drink is way better with it and don't put any ice in coconut milk, and less fattening.) Also, use frozen pineapple and much less ice. I buy frozen pineapple chunks and don't put any ice in. Last thing, add a squirt of fresh lime juice.

I used chunks of fresh pineapple, and its important to blend all the ingredients together in the electric blender. I'll try diferent ingredients too, since the pina colada from the bottle tastes really better so far...

posted by Miata @ 08:39AM, 5/30/06 Add vanilla ice cream Add vanilla ice cream when blending and put in the freezer. It makes a very delicious pina colada ice cream. I reckon Malibu is the best to use because it has a hint of coconut. What else do you need?

posted by Rosie @ 06:27PM, 5/31/06 Real recipe This recipe is all wrong. I'm from Puerto Rico where we know how to make good pina coladas. You need Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, lots of ice, pineapple juice, and coconut cream. The coconut cream is the key to a really good pina colada.

posted by SimbaNala @ 07:01PM, 6/03/06 Modifications if you've already bought the ingredients listed... The original recipe as listed needed a lot of work to be served as the only mixed drink at a Hawaiian-themed wedding shower we threw. It was pretty tasty with 1 cup ice, 2 oz. rum, 1.5 oz coconut milk, and 4 oz. crushed pineapple. We agree with many of the other comments, including trying it with Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum and cream of coconut.

posted by Mariah @ 03:36PM, 6/04/06 Best recipe Pina coladas are really good. I went to my friends party one time and the guy used ice, pineapple juice, and coconut milk. It was really good. I think coconut cream is better but if you don't agree have it your way.

posted by LJ @ 01:16PM, 6/14/06 If you're lazy and can find it... For the coconut freaks, it really depends on taste.. some like more pineapple, some like more coconut.. here's a tip for the lazy who wish to use "additives" mixes... get TGI Friday's pina colada with rum.. then add more rum ( the rum you enjoy with it ) along with 2 tbspoons of diced pinapple, coconut rum OR cream OR milk, depending which agrees with you... then ice... then the fancy shmancy dressings.. and toss in the blender and give it a whirl... It is hard to find mixes that taste good... also it's hard to find someone who knows how to make a real good pina colada... i'm still trying like mad to make the best i've ever tasted.. Oh yes, watch out for mixes that smell more like shampoo than something edible.
