- Note: This recipe is my adaptation of "The Authentic Piña Colada" printed on back of the Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut® can, which is the same as this but uses all (3 ounces) regular rum only ~ It's a great drink but I just love the inclusion of part coconut rum to make it even better!

- If you don't have coconut cream, you can use coconut milk instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by half.
- Add a splash of lime juice for a refreshing twist. Lime juice helps to balance the sweetness of the pineapple and coconut.
