It is super important that you use the right kind of cream of coconut or the 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 the 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 Cream of Coconut. It can be found in the Hispanic foods section of the grocery store. Goya Cream of Coconut also comes in a blue can with a picture of a coconut on the label. 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, let’s get down to business and show you the recipe.
HOW TO MAKE PINA COLADAS {NON-ALCOHOLIC}
- Pour the pineapple juice and cream of coconut into a blender.
- Add ice until it is up to the liquid level. (The liquid should be just covering the ice).
- Blend until smooth.
- Enjoy!
You can’t help smiling when you are drinking one of these.
Tips for making Pina Coladas {non-alcoholic}
- Make sure to use the right kind of cream of coconut or the Pina Coladas are going to taste terrible. I recommend using Coco Lopez or GOYA Cream of Coconut.
- Before opening the can of cream of coconut, shake it.
- Do not substitute coconut milk for the cream of coconut. The cream of coconut is much sweeter and gives the delicious, sweet flavor that you can’t get from regular coconut milk.
- If you buy a large can of pineapple juice (46 oz) and a 15 ounce can of cream of coconut, you can make three batches.
- The Pina Coladas can be as thick or thin as you want, depending upon how much ice you add.

Pina Colada’s are always yummy! I’ll have to prepare a batch for my granddaughter during the holiday season. Thanks for sharing.
She’ll love it! 🙂
Love this recipe looks super simple when you blend it are there any chunks of pineapple that you will taste or peace’s of coconut ? I went to a Spanish restaurant and they made the best pina coolatas ever with no peace’s in it but ice 😭 so now I’m trying to find out how they Made it so smooth
No pieces, just nice and smooth. You’ll love it!
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.
Great idea! And I think I love your mom. 🙂
How much pineapple to cream of coconut? Sounds great!
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.
I’m gonna try this
You’ll love it!
Sounds like a great idea! Cheers to you (and your Mom!)!
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.
How much ice is needed? It sounds delicious!!!
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!!
Thank you Sharlae! I love the idea to use fresh pineapple!
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!
We love piña coladas and easy recipes!!! Thanks Maria! Trying it today for the Fourth. 🎉🇺🇸
Awesome! They are the best! I hope you and your cute family are doing well! Happy Fourth!
When you say batch…. How many servings is that and how many ounces per those servings?
Hi Diane. Each batch (the large can of pineapple juice and the can of coconut cream make three batches. I usually get 4-5 cups per batch so it depends on how much you pour into each glass to serve. you should get 12-15 8 ounce servings. I hope that helps.
so hi ms. maria im just starting a stand im a kid so can i put it in a dispenser or is it too thick
That’s a good question. It would depend on how much ice you blend into it. This recipe is kind of cool because you can make it as thick or as thin as you want it by how much ice you add.
oh ok thank you
You’re Welcome!
have a nice day god bless you
These are so fast and easy to make for a great reward. Who knew that the different brands would make such a difference?
One of these days we will be sipping pina coladas together again!
