Pina Colada (Difford's recipe)
A splash of cachaça adds some Latin funk, lime adds a citrusy bite while a splash of fresh cream makes this Piña Colada creamy white

I switched out the single cream for Amarula and it adds something to it

I’m unable to get cachaca so have been trying to scale this without that ingredient/volume, and it just won’t turn out...today was maybe the best balance except for this serious dilution thing. Is a half scoop of crushed ice 6oz like in other recipes here? I’m wondering if it’s less because using the relatively lower amount from that number created a very watery drink. Unless I wasn’t supposed to blend until nearly uniform...

Were the juice and coconut milk cold?
If not, it takes a lot of ice to cool it down.
That's what just happened when I made one - alcoohol-free - for my kids!

我更喜欢用我的菠萝糖浆给它添加一点清爽好闻的香气

Used to make this with the regular sweeter recipe and this revisited recipe is the best. I have nice coconut shaped mugs I used, my husband said don’t put a coconut rim on them as it goes everywhere ? Works better on Hurricane glasses which I used to use.

This is the best Pina Colada I ever had but now I know I just don´t like them wich is an opinion people would kill me for haha. Still from all the Pina Coladas I made and I was served this is by far the best. Good work as allways Mr Difford

What is the best way to obtain Fresh pineapple juice? Blender? Juice Extractor? Add water? This makes a big difference and it doesn't get much mention as far as I've seen...

Remove skin and chop into long batons and discard core, then use a centrifugal juicer. If doing lots of pineapples then wear gloves as pineapples eat human skin - their revenge for us eating them.

I tried this way :
- 6cl infused vanilla rhum ( white rhum agricole damoiseau infused 3 month with vanilla)
- 6cl coconut cream
- 1cl cane sugar syrup
-9cl pineapple juice
Next time I might try adding vanilla syrup
