The Best PINA COLADA I've Ever Tasted! (Essential Cocktails 45/50)

I pride myself on being humble about the drinks I make, but for this drink I think I need to put that aside for just one second. I actually worked for ages on this recipe to get it just right, and I’m so proud of the result. It has everything I love about a good Pina Colada in perfect balance and with amazing texture. The only thing I can’t provide is a sun lounger by a pool on a hot summers day, sorry 🤷‍♂️
If you make one drink from this course, I really do encourage you to give this one a go… or maybe the Pornstar Martini in a few days - these two are my absolute favourites, I don’t even care if you judge me!
ABOUT THE COURSE
Welcome to Essential Cocktails - a 50-video, totally free, daily cocktail course with the ambition of making better drinks accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of your experience level. My goal has always been to learn as much as I can and share what I learn as widely as possible, so this course is designed to do that. I really hope it helps you level up your own drinks!

[@yacan1]

This looks awesome. My own person recipe uses whole pineapple chunks, nearly frozen. It helps cool it down, gives it that thickness, while also helping it not risk becoming watery as it cools. The pulp really helps the thickness aspect of it. Great recipe none the less

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Ooh, I love it! I have a recipe with frozen pineapple chunks on the way actually, it works so well!

[@danielleonard6339]

Your seriousness to the approach of making a good drink sold me. I’ll be trying this exactly as prescribed, and I shall report back.

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@carcez]

How did it go?

[@AngryCocktails]

Pina coladas are magic!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

💯

[@Arterion_]

The Piña Colada - undoubtedly my favourite cocktail! Thanks for such an awesome video on it.
How would you adjust this if you were using a homemade Coco Lopez alternative, made from 400ml coconut milk and 375g sugar?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Thanks so much! I haven’t actually tested this but will try to as soon as possible!

[@bruahh530]

The best Pina Colada I have had was a shaken one from Junglebird in Puerto Rico. Definitely will need to try this.

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I can’t imagine many places better to drink a Pina Colada, that sounds immense!

[@sandilobianco6734]

Look good.

[@therustybartender]

nice i've been on the hunt for a good Pina Colada recipe!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I hope you like this one!

[@Matthew-vm7qi]

Anybody ever try frozen coconut water chunks instead of regular ice?

[@maxhowe413]

your face at the end said it all

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

😍😍

[@fatboyhurstyt7985]

Please try this version, it tops anything I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve tried a lot
It’s enough for 2 people
2 double shots of Malibu
4 double fresh pineapple juice
1 shot of monin coconut syrup
1 shot of monin pina colada syrup
About 8 large ice cubes
Then the secret ingredient, Rum Chata. 2 double shots
Blend in blender
I will be giving this a go though 👍

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

That sounds tasty!

[@leoknut8901]

This sounds horrible, no monin please!

[@fatboyhurst123]

@@leoknut8901Don’t knock it until you try it

[@johnnyjensen8805]

It's also that pool bars don't always use the best ingredients

[@keithpp1]

Conjures for me, tacky drink, in tacky bars in Cyprus, that attract English tourists best avoided. 😊

[@admin1376]

Im chinese but call me tacky British tourist if thats what liking pina coladas makes me :)
