Virgin Piña Colada

David Venable

You. Summer. Beach. Can you picture it? Take one swig of this drink and you'll be whisked away to an island paradise...or the Jersey shore. You pick!

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1-1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherry syrup
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 8 cups of ice
  • Orange slices, to garnish
  • Pineapple wedges, to garnish
  • Maraschino cherries with stems, to garnish

Directions

Add the coconut milk, pineapple juice, heavy cream, maraschino cherry syrup, sugar, and ice to a blender or frozen drink maker. Blend well, until drink becomes smooth, yet slushy.
Pour the mixture into goblet or daiquiri glasses. Garnish the rims of each glass with an orange slice and wedge of pineapple, if desired. Place a maraschino cherry on top of the finished piña colada, if desired. Serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

Double or triple the recipe and mix all of the ingredients except the alcohol and ice and your guests won't have to wait long for refills.
