Notes
- Cut a fresh pineapple in half lengthwise. Cut those halves in half as well. You can then slice those quarters into wedges.
- You can use white rum or gold rum in a pina colada. Depending on the rum you use, your pina colada will be white or have a yellow tint. Another factor in color is whether you use fresh pineapple and ice, or frozen pineapple.
- If you must skip the garnishes, don't skip the cocktail umbrellas. There's something about that little umbrella that transports your mind to a tropical sandy beach!
- Please keep in mind that a hurricane glass generally holds 16-20 ounces. That's a big glass! So you may find variations in the number of servings you get.
- Make sure your blender has ice crushing capabilities. Some less expensive blenders cannot handle this function.
