Yield:4 servings 1x
Method:Stovetop
Cuisine:American
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup frozen raspberries
4 oz (1/2 cup) pineapple juice
2 oz (1/4 cup) cream of coconut (e.g., Coco Lopez)
2 oz white pineapple juice with almond extract (optional)
1 cup ice cubes
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Pineapple wedges, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the frozen raspberries, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, white pineapple juice with almond extract (if using), fresh lime juice, and ice cubes into a high-speed blender.
Step 2: Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more pineapple juice; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
Step 3: Taste the piña colada and adjust to your preference. You may add a little more lime juice for tang, or a touch more cream of coconut for sweetness and richness.
Step 4: Carefully pour the frozen raspberry piña colada into chilled hurricane glasses or your favorite festive drinkware.
Step 5: Garnish each drink with a few fresh raspberries threaded onto a cocktail pick and a fresh pineapple wedge on the rim for a fun, celebratory touch. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you happen to have any leftover (though it's so delicious it's unlikely!), freeze it in an airtight container and simply re-blend with a splash of fresh pineapple juice and a few ice cubes to refresh its frosty texture later.
Should your festive colada start to melt in warmer conditions, just pop it back into the blender with a few more ice cubes and a tiny splash of lime juice for a quick re-blend to its perfectly smooth, frosty state.
Create a delightful self-serve station for your Galentine's guests by preparing the drink in a large batch and offering a variety of fun garnishes like fresh mint, edible flowers, or custom cocktail picks alongside the usual raspberries and pineapple.
The fresh lime juice is your secret weapon; don't skimp on it, as its bright acidity perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit and richness of the coconut for that essential 'zing'.
