Yes, I Love Piña Coladas~

Welcome to spring! The east coast has finally warmed up and now the temperature is just amazing. It’s so nice out that I started thinking about my couple trips to Hawaii and how much I loved drinking piña coladas while enjoying the beach (yup, it’s very classic), so today is piña colada day! To change things up a bit, I will not provide measurements for this recipe that may or may not even work so that you can experiment with what flavors you’ll enjoy for your drink. And as before, since I do not drink I will not include amounts for alcohol, but feel free to add as much rum as you’d like.

Ingredients:

·      Coconut cream

·      Pineapple chunks (about ½ inch cubes) OR pineapple juice

·      Ice cubes

·      Simple syrup (boil ½ cup sugar in 1 cup water until dissolved, but this is only to make 1 cup of simple syrup; you still have to add only as much as you’d want or it’ll be way too sweet)

·      Strawberries (optional – add to make a lava colada!)

Combine the ingredients above in a blender and blend until smooth. Continue to add more of each ingredient until the desired taste and consistency has been reached.

It’s really simple! Most people are intimidated by not following the instructions to the T, but we wouldn’t recipes if people didn’t experiment and make mistakes along the way. Cooking and baking are experiments, and you’ll never know what you’re capable of unless you try!
