how to make pina colada
We start by pouring 90 ml of pineapple juice into a shaker or blender glass. Add 30 ml of coconut milk and 30 ml of white rum. If we want to do it without alcohol, we replace the 30 ml of white rum with 30 ml of milk or cream and we will have a delicious non-alcoholic pina colada.
Close the shaker and shake it energetically for a few seconds. If we prepare the drink in the blender glass, we activate it for 5 seconds. Open the shaker again and add crushed ice until it is almost full and if we do it in a glass blender, add about 100 g of crushed ice.
Once we have added the crushed ice, we close the shaker again and shake it for another 5 or 6 seconds. If we have chosen to prepare the drink with a blender, after adding the ice we beat again for a few moments.
Once we have the piña colada ready, we serve it in a tall glass adding the ice as well and decorate it with a slice of pineapple, a cherry and some mint leaves.
We serve it immediately to enjoy it very fresh. Of course, if we have opted for the version with alcohol, always in moderation.
