We had probably the best Piña Coladas either one of us had ever had while on our honeymoon in the Virgin Islands. Wanting to recreate what we consumed and not satisfied with the plain ole rum+crème de coconut+pineapple juice+ice recipe, I hunted around and made my own conglomeration of various recipes I found.

My hubby says it still tastes more smoothie than slushy (but beware it does pack somewhat of a kick!), but definitely resembles the creamy concoction we got in the Caribbean!

Let me know what you think! And if you add your own spins, or find something else to work out better, I'd love to know! Still perfecting this recipe till we recreate our honeymoon vacation Piña Coladas!

Steps

1

Measure out and dump all ingredients in the blender.
2

Blend! Since our blender is somewhat older, I added the ice cubes to make it more of a slushy than a smoothie, but the end result is creamy nonetheless!
3

Top with whipped cream, sprinkled ground cinnamon, and a maraschino cherry. Add a straw and enjoy!
