How to Make Strawberry Pineapple Piña Colada

Prepare the Fruits: Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into medium chunks and place them on a tray to freeze for at least 2-4 hours. Cut the fresh pineapple into chunks.

Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, add the fresh pineapple chunks, frozen strawberries, coconut cream, lime juice, white rum for an alcoholic version (for a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum), honey or simple syrup (if using), and crushed ice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if needed.

Tip: Use crushed or pebble ice, as it blends evenly and creates a velvety smooth textured drink.

Serve: Pour the mixture evenly into two Piña colada glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice of pineapple, a strawberry, and a maraschino cherry if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing tropical drink!

Recipe Tips for Best Results

• Fruits: For a thicker consistency, use frozen pineapple chunks and strawberries.
• *Rum: For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add extra pineapples.
• Ice: Adjust the amount; more ice will make the drink thicker and slushier.
• Blender: Use a high-powered blender with an ice crush setting.
• Serving: Serve immediately while it’s cold and holds a creamy texture.
