PINA COLADA RECIPE

Steps:

• BLENDER Pina Colada (Frozen Pina Colada - this version is served more often in restaurants) - add all ingredients into a blender container and blitz until almost smooth. Blender Pina Colada will have a slushie/smoothie consistency. You can also use a good immersion (hand) blender to mix the ingredients.
• SHAKEN Pina Colada - add all the ingredients into a shaker or a big jar. Shake it thoroughly, for a minimum of 30 seconds. It's best to use crushed ice here. You can also serve it on the rocks (simply pour the drink over ice). This drink will be a little thinner.
• Add all the ingredients into a blender container and blitz until the drink has a slushie consistency (or until smooth). You can also use a good immersion (hand) blender to mix the ingredients.
