Piña Colada with pineapple, coconut, and a creamy finish

Pineapple, coconut and a splash of white rum: a cold Piña Colada is a lovely excuse to linger on the patio. This creamy version includes heavy cream and a little fresh lemon juice. Add a pineapple garnish and settle in.

Get the ingredients ready

Chill the glass, pineapple juice and cream. Stir the cream of coconut until smooth before measuring it; it provides both coconut flavor and sweetness. Wash the lemon and pineapple before cutting. Squeeze the lemon, then cut a pineapple garnish, removing the tough skin and core from the part you will eat.

Blend until creamy

Put the pineapple juice, lemon juice, white rum, cream of coconut and unwhipped heavy cream in a blender suitable for ice. Add the crushed ice, follow the appliance's loading instructions and stay below its maximum fill line. Secure the lid and blend until smooth and evenly chilled. Switch off and wait for the blades to stop before opening.

Pour into the chilled glass and add the pineapple. Serve right away, while the ice is still finely blended. Keep unused cream and prepared fruit refrigerated; refrigerate any leftover cocktail promptly and follow the opened ingredients' storage instructions.

For a different white-rum cocktail another time, try a mojito with lime, mint and sparkling soda.

Give the garnish a secure seat

Cut a short notch in the pineapple piece so it sits on the rim without slipping into the drink.

Try a little spice

A light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg is an optional finish. Keep it subtle so the pineapple still comes through.

Make a few glasses together

Measure the liquid ingredients into a jug first. Blend in batches suited to your appliance, adding ice to each batch when you are ready to serve it.

Frequently asked questions

Is coconut milk the same as cream of coconut?
No. Sweetened cream of coconut makes a richer, sweeter drink. Coconut milk or unsweetened coconut cream changes the result.

Can I use a shaker?
Yes. Shake the liquids with ice in a securely closed shaker, then strain into a chilled glass. The texture will be more fluid than the blended version.

Should I whip the cream first?
No. Add it cold and liquid so it mixes evenly with the juice and coconut.
