Pina Colada

I am planning a *small* Pina Colada 'sesh' for Friday night fivezeeees!! :) :) :)
Looking forward to trying this recipe out.


Makes 2

1 small ripe pineapple, peeled, core removed, chopped
1 lime, rind finely grated, juiced
60ml white rum
4 ice cubes
180ml coconut milk
40ml chilled sugar syrup (see below)
Crushed ice
Pineapple spear, slice lime & maraschino cherry, to serve
Sugar syrup
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water


1. Combine pineapple, lime rind, lime juice, rum and ice cubes in a blender,
blend until smooth. Add the coconut milk and sugar syrup and blend to
combine. Taste adding more sugar syrup and coconut milk if needed
2. Pour half mixture into a cocktail shaker quarter filled with crushed ice.
Shake vigorously. Strain into a large chilled glass. Garnish with pineapple,
lime and cherry. Drizzle with a little extra rum if desired. Repeat to make a
second cocktail.
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker strain the mixture at the end of step 1 and
serve over a little crushed ice.
3. To make sugar syrup: combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan
and stir over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, boil for
5 minutes without stirring. Allow to cool.
