El Fogón de Frakie

Did you know the Piña Colada was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico?

 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 oz Puerto Rican White Rum (Don Q or Bacardí)
• 3 oz Pineapple Juice (fresh is always better!)
• 1 oz Coconut Cream (Coco López is the classic choice)
• ½ oz Heavy Cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 cup of Ice
• Garnish: A fresh pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.

 

Method:

 

1. Combine: In a blender, add the rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and heavy cream.
2. Chill: Add the ice.
3. Blend: Pulse until the mixture is smooth and has a frappe-like consistency.
4. Pour: Serve in a tall «Poco Grande» glass or a hollowed-out pineapple if you’re feeling extra tropical!
5. The Finishing Touch: Garnish with the pineapple wedge and the cherry. Don’t forget the little umbrella!
