Pina Colada

Pina Colada

Dreaming of a sunny vacation in the middle of winter? Make a Pina Colada and explore the options. One being Puerto Rico where this sweet, ice-cold drink originated. We had no fruit to garnish our drink. It was a last minute decision to make a Pina Colada on a snowy day and dream of summer fun!

Pina Colada

We discovered Real Gourmet Cream of Coconut at our local Calgary Co-op and tried the recipe on the back. Delicious!

This recipe does make 2 gimlet glass size drinks of ½ cup each, which seems like plenty enough.
