A refreshing pineapple cocktail that really packs a punch! In Spanish, Pina Colada means Pineapple Strained, and is also known as the official beverage of Puerto Rico. This is one cocktail that is actually a sweet, rum-based cocktail made with light rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice. It may also be garnished with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry.
Pina colada – Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple
- 100ml white rum
- 300ml fem (fresh coconut milk)
- large handful crushed ice
Direction
1. Top and tail the pineapple and cut away the skin. Cut away the flesh from the core and whiz in a liquidiser. This should produce about 600ml of juice.2. Place the ice and rum in a cocktail shaker along with the fem and 300ml of the pineapple juice.
3. Shake, pour – and drink immediately!

Thank you so much, this was a good read. I was actually born in Spain ( not telling when though!) but was moved around europe and finally settled in the UK when I was a teenager. I dont remember an awful lot of the few years I was in spain, but the delicious smell of spanish food always seems to get me going or something. It’s weird how I dont remember anything except the smells,isn’t it! I actually found a whole internet site dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I ought to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. I’ll get my son to add your feed to my rss thing…
