I had some store-bought Coconut-milk sitting in my refrigerator for god-knows-how-long, and I finally made up my mind to use it up today. I know the original Piña colada calls for white rum, however I decided not to use it in mine. So here’s some Virgin Piña colada. Hope you all are having a nice ‘n merry holiday season! 
Ingredients:
- Pineapple – 1 no (large sized, cleaned)
- Milk – 250 ml (or) 1/4 litre
- Coconut Milk/Coconut Cream – 200 ml ( I used the one from ‘Dabur Hommade ‘)
- Sugar – to taste
- White Rum (optional) – 30 ml (for each glass to be served)
Procedure:
- Clean the pineapple and blend in the mixer with adequate sugar.
- Strain the juice and discard the fibrous pulp remaining in the strainer/filter. (I normally wouldn’t do this since I like to consume the fibre content in the fruit. However, in this case, we need a smooth puree of the pineapple for the drink).
- Now, blend in the rum (if using), milk and coconut milk with the filtered pineapple juice at high speed, for a few seconds.
- Pour into tall goblets, garnish with pineapple wedges on the side of the goblets, and serve chilled. Voila!
This one finds its way to Padmajha’s ‘No Cook’ Event.

Thank you for all the detail! Still yet another incredible recipe, this really is exactly why I return to your blog time and again!
Hi Madhuri,
I tried making Pina colada, I used Coconut milk powder dissolved in warm water instead of coconut milk. Prepared as you mentioned but the result came out bitter..plz help!!
Hi Shail,
There could be 2-3 reasons why your Piña colada turned bitter –
a) The Coconut milk powder was not very fresh.
b) The pineapple you used may have been cut and kept for a long time before you made the juice/you may have run it in the mixer for too long/stirred too much while straining the pulp
Did you happen to use rum? Let me know, Im sure we can figure this one out…with you all the way
Yep.. the pineapple was 1/2-cut and kept in the fridge for 3 days.. and also I ran the pineapple pulp in the mixie for quite long.. however didn’t use rum..
Next time I would strain the pulp and use the smooth puree..
I love all your recipes.. they’re really creative and delicious.. My hubby liked ‘Instant guilt-free banana icecream’ very much..
Thanks for helping me out..
