How to Make a Virgin Pina Colada

Method 1 Method 1 of 3: Classic Piña Colada
  1. 1 Put the cream of coconut, ice, and pineapple juice in a blender. This drink comes together quickly when you add all the ingredients at once. Reserve the pineapple slices, though - those are for the garnish.
  2. 2 Blend until the ice is crushed. It might take several pulses to get the creamy texture of a classic piña colada.
  3. 3 Pour it into two glasses. You can use hurricane glasses for a festive feel.
  4. 4 Garnish with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry. Float the pineapple rings on top of the drinks and put the cherries in the middle of the rings.
  5. 5 Finished.
Method 2 Method 2 of 3: Banana Piña Colada
  1. 1 Blend the ice, pineapple juice and coconut milk. Pulse the blender until the mixture is nice and smooth. Keep going until it's rich and creamy.
  2. 2 Add the bananas and pineapple chunks. Pulse again to blend the mixture together until it has a smoothie-like texture.
  3. 3 Pour it into two glasses. Since this banana piña colada is almost like a smoothie, you could pour it into two tall glasses. Add a couple of straws to make it easier to drink.
  4. 4 Garnish with sliced pineapple. The drink will look more festive if you place a few pineapple rings on the edge of the glasses.
Method 3 Method 3 of 3: Berry Piña Colada
  1. 1 Blend the ice, coconut cream and pineapple juice. Keep pulsing until it's completely smooth and creamy.
  2. 2 Add the berries. You can use strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or a combination of all three! Blend the berries with the creamy base to create a colorful drink.
  3. 3 Pour it into two glasses. Use clear glasses so you can appreciate the pretty color of your fruity piña colada.
  4. 4 Garnish with a few sliced berries on top. Enjoy your drink with a straw.
