Making a Pina Colada


Pina colada is a delightful cocktail which has the ability to transform your sunny terrace into a tropical paradise with just one sip. This coconut based drink is a marvel during the sweltering summer heat and a favorite at the beaches and outdoor summer parties. 

It has proudly occupied the position of the official drink of Puerto Rico since the 1978 and is simple enough to be made at home. So now you can sip and enjoy this delightful tropical cocktail sitting at your apartment and imagine yourself luxuriating in the beach.

Pina coladas are rum based cocktails prepared with coconut cream and blended pineapple extracts and ice. There are also various other flavors like strawberry, blue curacao etc. which can be added to the mix, depending on taste and preference. Malibu rum is also a popular replacement of the regular variety of rum. Pina colada without the rum is known as virgin colada which is popular in its own right, especially with the teetotalers.
