The Piña Colada was born in Puerto Rico in the 1950s. Give this version an extra dose of the tropics with a stylish shredded-coconut rim (see below).
Ingredients
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup canned sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco López)
6 tablespoons white rum
6 tablespoons citrus-flavored rum
1/4 cup chilled whipping cream
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups crushed ice
Grated lemon peel
Ground nutmeg
Directions
Place first 6 ingredients in large blender. Add ice. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour into two 14-ounce glasses. Garnish with grated lemon peel and nutmeg.
Dip the rim of each glass in water, then press into a bowl of coarsely crushed toasted shredded coconut. To crush the coconut easily, rub it several times in the palm of your hand.
