Tips:

  • Don't skimp on the rum. A good quality rum will make a big difference in the taste of your piña colada. If you're not sure what kind of rum to use, ask your local liquor store for recommendations.
  • Use a blender to get a smooth, creamy texture. A food processor will also work, but a blender will give you a better result.
  • Garnish your piña colada with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry. This will add a festive touch to your drink.
  • Serve your piña colada immediately. Piña coladas are best enjoyed fresh.
