My Favorite Pina Colada

Author Notes: I like more pineapple than coconut in my pina coladas, so I thought I'd add some fresh pineapple as well as pineapple juice. And after a few experiments, I found that a combination of coconut milk and cream of coconut produced the right blend of sweetness and creaminess. A spritz of lime juice and a grating of fresh nutmeg were later additions. - merrill
Makes 4 cocktails
- 3 oz light rum
- 4 cups ice
- 2/3 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 ounces cream of coconut
- 2 ounces coconut milk
- 4 ounces pineapple juice
- Juice of 1/2 large lime
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender (use a good, strong one that can crush ice) and blend until smooth. Add more ice or liquid to taste. Serve in a pretty glass with a shower of grated nutmeg, a lime wedge and maybe even a cocktail umbrella.

I notice more and more that as a "cooking culture" we are often drawn to what is "Easy-peasy Lemon-Squeezy" or doing a recipe the "loriginal" long-way home.
I opt for both depending on the time squeeze and the seriousness of the occasion involved.
I love a short-cut now and then also.
Thanks Irina for simplifying a mid-week crisis with cocktails on board!
Thanks to Merrill for the sophisticated recipe with some notriorious difference.
I suppose it will alwaysalso matter to thedirector of the play who is in the audience as well.
Love the "retro-colada".... Thanks again

Pina Coladas will always remind me of my honey moon. Yours looks lovely.

Er, honeymoon... although a honey moon can't be all bad, either!
