In today's video, I'm making a piña colada! There are a few different ways to mix this one up, and I'm going to show you how I do it. Three flavors come together in the piña colada - coconut, pineapple, and rum. With this recipe, I use both cream of coconut for sweetness and coconut milk to provide a silky texture. For the pineapple, I like a good amount of juice to balance the rich coconut, and because of that I like using fresh juice (canned juice will still taste good). Then for the rum I'm using a nice light rum. Traditionally it would be a Puerto Rican rum, but you should use whatever rum you like - combine it with coconut and pineapple and it's going to be tasty!
