Virgin piña colada
Ingredients
- 24 fluid ounces (3 cups) pineapple juice
- 12 fluid ounces (1 1/2 cups) cream of coconut
- 4–5 cups ice
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Add the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, 4 cups of ice, and optional lime juice to a blender. If needed, blend in two equal batches so the blender is not overfilled.
- Blend until smooth. Add the remaining ice a little at a time for a thicker frozen texture.
- Taste and adjust: more cream of coconut makes it sweeter and richer; extra ice or a little lime juice can balance the sweetness. If it is too thick, blend in a little more pineapple juice.
- Divide among six 8-ounce glasses or eight 6-ounce glasses and serve immediately.
