Pina Coladas {non-alcoholic}

Pina-Coladas-non-alcoholic-real-life-dinnerPina Coladas {non-alcoholic}

YOU GUYS! These are the BEST!!! I can’t believe I haven’t posted this crazy easy recipe. It feels generous to even call it a recipe it’s SO easy.

I am telling you, people will LOVE you if you make these for them. Every time I make these for people they beg for seconds and the recipe.

kid-friendly-pina-coladas-so-delicious-everyone-begs-for-secondsA blender, pineapple juice, a can of cream of coconut and ice are all you need to whip up a glass of pure happiness and refreshment.

You can make three batches out of 1 large can of pineapple juice and one 15 ounce can of cream of coconut.

non-alcoholic-pina-coladas-three-ingredients-easy-peasy-the-whole-family-will-love-itIt is super important that you use the right kind of cream of coconut or your pina coladas are going to taste terrible, no really, I am serious I have tried almost every kind out there and the two I am about to recommend are for sure the BEST.

The first one is called Coco Lopez. You can usually find Coco Lopez near the mixed drink section at your grocery store. It is about 2-3 dollars a can. Coco Lopez is the one pictured above.

The second type that is delicious is the GOYA brand Cream of Coconut. It can be found in the Hispanic foods section of your grocery store. It also comes in a blue can and has a picture of a coconut on it. It is a 15 ounce can and usually runs close to 2 dollars a can give or take a little.

Now that we have that covered, lets get down to business and show you the recipe.

You won't be able to make this as fast as people are back for seconds. It is my go to for a fun refreshing drink. If you buy a large can of pineapple juice and a 15 ounce can of cream of coconut you can make three batches.

    If you want to kick it up a notch, use crushed pineapple instead of pineapple juice. It’s a family secret dating back to the mid-70’s when my mother spent a summer going to parties with a blender under her arm.

        I use a big can of pineapple juice and add 1/3 of it to 1/3 of the can of cream of coconut and then ice to the right consistency. this gives me three batches per can of cream of coconut and large can of pineapple juice.

    Is this mix super thick? Do you think it would pour from a dispenser or should I just use a pitcher? Thank you for sharing your recipe!

      Yes, it is super thick. I usually just pour it into cups from my blender.

    I really wanted to try this and I just went to target and Walmart and the “didn’t have it” i guess I’m going to have to try another day.?? can I substitute it for coconut milk?

      Bummer, unfortunately coconut milk does not work as a substitute. The cream of coconut is much sweeter and gives the delicious sweet flavor that you can’t get from regular coconut milk.

      I just keep adding ice until it is the consistency I want. Sorry, I haven’t ever measured. It is around one ice cube tray full though, I think.

    I would like to serve this for an Hawaiian Party. Can it be made in larger amounts ahead of time.

      It could be, but it will be hard to keep it the right frozen consistency.

    Delicious!!! I freeze fresh pineapple chunks and omit the ice! It makes for a much creamier Pina Colada! It’s Amazing!!

    AWESOME!! Just tried it tonight and this is by far the easiest and BEST recipe on Pinterest. I added a little more ice than the recipe (an inch above the liquid line) so I wouldn’t have a liquidy result and it came out PERFECT! Just like a piña colada at a bar.
    My kids loved this and I couldn’t make it fast enough for seconds. I made my own cream of coconut instead of buying. I spent less than $1.00 by making my own and storing the extra in the fridge. Love this! Thanks for sharing!

      So glad you loved the recipe, it is definitely a favorite around here. I know exactly what you’re saying when you said, you couldn’t make the seconds fast enough. 🙂

      I didn’t realize it is possible to make your own cream of coconut, that is awesome. I would love for you to share your recipe with me!
