You need to add an 8th tsp of xanthan gum and that completely prevents it from melting/separating in the first 5 minutes. this is how Garret Richard at Sunken Harbor Club in brooklyn does it. he learned it by studying starbucks frappe recipes
This is the pina colada recipe in ATK's How to Cocktail (highly recommend), I've made it a few times. Very tasty and strong, not too sweet. I use 4 oz rum instead of 6 oz.
Thank you for this simple recipe. Very often with fewer ingredients, the better the outcome. I use a Thai brand of coconut cream called Mae Ploy. It's creamy & has good coconut taste.
The Piña Colada was invented in Puerto Rico. The traditional recipe uses cream of coconut and our favorite brand is Coco Lopez. It also uses Puerto Rican rum. Don Q and Ron Barrilito are best, but you can use any Caribbean rum in a pinch.
Zelma8 - you've got it backwards, unfortunately. You're right that the traditional recipe calls for Coco Lopez, but Coco Lopez is a particular brand name for cream of coconut, as WarUlt said - NOT coconut cream. The video is completely wrong in saying that cream of coconut is "corn syrup with coconut flavoring." Cream of coconut is whole fat coconut milk mixed with water and sugar. For anyone reading this - if you're confused by the above, which is understandable, just buy Coco Lopez for your pina coladas. You can't go wrong with that. (And Coco Lopez says "cream of coconut" right on the can). If you use coconut cream instead, as per the video, I'm sure you can still make something very tasty, but it will be much less sweet than what you are expecting a pina colada to taste like, because it is a very different recipe than what most bars make.
@@criticaljohnson He added 2oz of simple syrup into the blender which is usually not called for because most recipes call for "cream of Coconut" which is sweetened. Considering I make my cream of Coconut using 2:1 rich simple syrup and coconut milk(smuggler's Cove recipe), I'm sure his coconut cream/simple syrup combo works just fine, if a little bit rich. If it were me, I'd add 2 more ounces of rum, 10 drops of a 20% saline solution and 1/8th tsp of Xantham gum to the blender.
Its fine, as I said above, used to bartend and we used pineapple juice. Just make sure you get the quantities right. So just pour the coconut concoction, without the pineapple juice, in a glass and sip away. Add pineapple juice as you go until you get your recipe.
When my brother was young, I made him a Virgin Pina Colada and he loved it. From then on, he would ask me to make him one all the time. When he grew up, I forgot to ask him if he preferred the alcoholic Pina Colada.

If you’re talking about your mouth skin being irritated and bleeding, that’s not an allergy, that’s just an enzyme the breaks down protein, but thankfully cooking breaks it down.
I, too, am sensitive to fresh pineapple. It makes my throat and tongue swell and tingle. I absolutely love it but now avoid it! I do still use canned, and I will cook fresh pineapple to make it not bother me! Grilled with a brushing of coconut milk and sprinkled with cinnamon/sugar... divine!
This is for all the comments complaining that half of the videos are introductions and advertisements for their website. Now people complain that there's no introduction. People are awful picky about free content
I like the taste of rum, but unfortunately rum, even a small single serving, gives me a raging headache. I wonder if anyone here has tried Ritual Zero Proof, non-alcoholic rum alternative, and whether it’s a decent substitute for rum in Piña Coladas.
The best piña colada I ever had was made by a bartender in the Niagara Region and he has never tasted alcohol in his life. I've never had a good one since they closed the doors in the private club (my Father was a member and brought people there for business meetings) and I do miss them so. However, my body now has decided it doesn't like rum and I'll get crushing chest pains when I drink it; thanks hiatus hernia 😢
When I used to bartend, we would use a piece of pineapple for the garnish, but use pineapple juice in the drink. Just see what works for you, not everything needs to be so fussy.
I'll stick with Cream of Coconut, pineapple juice, and skip the simple syrup and blending. Waaay easier, waaay faster, and I can make each cocktail to individual tastes. And most important…tastes aMaZiNg! Also, never blend ANY cocktail, even if it's how some 1970s relic cocktail concoctions were "traditionally" served. Blending always waters down your drink - it's unavoidable (unless you like watery drinks, not my thing).
What’s with these abbreviated edits on the latest Cooks Country segments? I get that you’re catering to shorter attention spans, but It’s kinda jarring without much time savings.

Sad times. I've cut back, myself. They say it causes many cancers now, along with loads of other issues we've known about for decades, so it's for the best. Kind of shocked alcohol is legal and cannabis isn't (in the US - federally).

Coco Lopez is cream of coconut

Would canned pineapple syrup/juice add sweetness and more flavor instead of a simple syrup? Or would it mask coconut flavor?
That is the traditional way.
Its fine, as I said above, used to bartend and we used pineapple juice. Just make sure you get the quantities right. So just pour the coconut concoction, without the pineapple juice, in a glass and sip away. Add pineapple juice as you go until you get your recipe.
A less sweet Pina Colada is also great if you prefer non alcoholic ones, as I do 🙂
When my brother was young, I made him a Virgin Pina Colada and he loved it. From then on, he would ask me to make him one all the time. When he grew up, I forgot to ask him if he preferred the alcoholic Pina Colada.
Tough day at the office. Had to make and drink Pino Colada 😢
I do mine with Myers Rum instead of white.
Myers is awesome and Captain Morgan.
Lawson needs to be promoted to permanent on-air. He is so fyne.

Oh man I would love to have that,,guess I’ll have to,make one,soon
How do you avoid it getting all foamy in the blender?
Yummy
And the Pina Colada is nice too
YT is the only social media platform I use, and I support the longer content videos. If you have the time, do both to cater to both viewing audiences.
Always thought Pina Coloda was made with Malibu rum. Need to try making this recipe.
Nope.

Piña Coladas are ours, I’m Puerto Rican and I love virgin Piña Coladas, or with a little rum, but I prefer it without rum.
I only WISH I could drink this!! Unfortunately, I’m allergic to fresh pineapple…canned or cooked is ok, just not the fresh.
Just open and drain canned Pineapple. Spread on a parchment lined sheet pan and freeze. Not exactly the same but should get you close

So is my brother. Canned or cooked is fine fresh is not.
I feel you on that, I'm allergic to the coconut, cooked or raw doesn't matter
Garnish needs a sword or umbrella if you're adding rum! 😊 also a cherry for color
This looks good but I would add more varieties of rum! I think painkillers are overall more tasty than pina coladas too.
What’s going on with video editing on these new videos?
This one seems to start mid-sentence! Who is this for?
@@bondfoolAnd it finishes mid-sentence, too. It's very trippy.

“Best piña colada recipe”
Video starts with simple syrup
*Stares puerto rican bartender-ly

Get a can coco lopez cream of coconut, follow the directions on the can and add Parrot Bay rum and a teaspoon of sugar.
the..best. Like 3 minutes
Have you tried this one?
Do not do this unless you want diabetes lol parrot bay is super sweet already (use an actual rum) and then adding MORE sugar???

Can rum reacted be used instead of actual alcohol rum???
When I used to bartend, we would use a piece of pineapple for the garnish, but use pineapple juice in the drink. Just see what works for you, not everything needs to be so fussy.
I use Trader Joes pineapple juice.
These awkwardly edited videos take all the charm out of ATK segments. Very disappointing.
Topping it off with dark rum to give you a stronger drink? Irresponsible.

Virgin pina colada
just skip the rum
Yet you're watching a pina colada video. (Slow clap)
I’d make it Virtuous,w/0 Rum no Rum for me!
“You noticed I put this in certain order: I put the liquid at the bottom….” Silly man, the liquid will always run down to the bottom, unless you put it in a plastic bag.
You’ve clearly never used a blender but it’s okay.
@@jondough42069 I have never not not used a blender.
In my vitamix if you don't add the liquid first it won't necessarily make it down to the blades the way it should!
@@katherinesmith9985 Vitamix must have a gravity avoiding setting. Pretty impressive.
@@estuchedepeluche2212 The instructions for the vitamix specifically say to add liquids first unless you're using the single serve cups because they mix upside down.
Thanks, I don't LIKE piña colada
Ok
How about getting caught in the rain?
Then why are you watching the video?
