Description
Piña Colada is a coconut cocktail from Puerto Rico. It consists of rum, Batida de Coco liqueur, pineapple juice, cream and a bit of sugar syrup. A good looking tropical mixture that goes down especially well with women.
Coconut liqueur or coconut cream has about the same influence on taste as rum and pineapple juice. A creamy, fruity and palatable mixture which brings tropical feelings to your home.
Piña Colada is also optically an attractive cocktail. The white mixture looks amazing with pineapple-cherry decoration and black straws.
A good option for sunny days in the afternoon, particularly on the beach. Because Piña Colada contains cream, it's rather a heavy cocktail, which you shouldn't serve before eating.

Preparation
Method: Shaking with ice cubes
Bar equipment: Shaker
1.
Decoration
A piece of pineapple with a cherry on top fits well with Piña Colada. For that, cut a triangle of pineapple and make a short cut in the middle. Then take a tooth pick and stick a cherry on top. Put it all together on the glass rim.
2.
Shaking
Place white and brown rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, cream and sugar syrup along with 2-3 ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and shake it hard.
3.
Serving
Finally, fill up half of your glass with crushed ice and strain the drink into it. Serve it ice cold with 1-2 black straws.
Tips
Fine adjustment
Decoration / Serving
Serve Piña Colada in long-drink glasses.
Hurricane or long-drink glasses are most appropriate for Piña Colada . It's a fancy cocktail which you should decorate. Fruity decorations made of pineapple, cherries and star fruit look really great. In any case don't forget black straws.
A good presentation and an adequate environment are as important as the taste of cocktails. Use our decoration tool to test different decorations and glasses.

Definitely needs a pinch of salt. The difference between an average Pina Colada and a spectacular one.
