Irene’s Piña Colada (At Home Edition)

Ingredients
  

FOR PIÑA COLADA MIX

  • 1 can unsweetened coconut cream (400 ml)
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 ounces canned pineapple, either sliced of chunked

FOR PIÑA COLADA

  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 cup rum, unspiced
  • 1-2 ounces pineapple liquer (optional)
  • juice of one lime
  • 12 ounces housemade piña colada mix

Instructions
 

  • Start with the piña colada mix by adding sugar and the entire can of coconut cream in a small pot. Over low heat, break up chunks of coconut in the pan to allow it to melt fast.
  • Once completely melted, add sugar to pot and stir until all the sugar is dissolved.
  • Take off heat and add to blender.
  • Strain the juice from the canned pineapple and add the pineapple chunks to the blender. (TIP: Reserve the liquid from the can as you may want to add it back into the blender if the puree is too thick. It also is great in sparkling water.)
  • Blend mixture completely and let chill in fridge until cold. Or pour mixture into 1 ounce ice molds and let freeze. Mixture is good in the freezer for up to one month.
  • To make the piña colada itself, combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and serve.
