History

Basically a pineapple-flavoured Daiquiri, this recipe is based on a piece in the December 1922 edition of Travel Magazine, the first known written reference to a Piña Colada, and is what we now refer to as a 'Cuban Style Piña Colada' - one without coconut.

Review

This Colada has no coconut, but it is smooth, balanced and rather tasty.

Used a overproof Caribbean blend made for a tiki bar here in Southern California. Was good, but decided it needed a little for rum falvour. Added a small 151 Rum float. It was great as more of the caramel flavour came out of the cocktail.

I'm pretty sure our PCs in Cuba came with coconut, but I'm not wild about it.
One day I ordered a PC and the waiter put it down in front of my wife. "That's for me" I said, and I saw a flicker of disappointment flash over his face.
After that, I had lots of rum sat at the bar to try to redeem my reputation.
I really enjoyed this easy cocktail. We bought a whole pineapple for 98p from Lidl and this one was an easy to make winner in the Nutribullet.

Delicious. 60 ml Bacardi 8, 120 ml pineapple juice, 7.5 ml lime, 7.5 ml sugar syrup. Not overly sweet since you're not adding a lot of sugar, and great flavor.
