Recipe Notes
Test Kitchen tips
- This tropical cocktail does use a good amount of rum. Feel free to cut back on the amount and replace it with water or additional pineapple juice if you'd like to make them a little less strong.
- For a richer, robust flavour, try using dark rum or even spiced rum.
- Over the years, pina coladas have gotten more and more sweet. This version doesn't include additional sugar but if you'd like it a tad bit sweeter, go ahead and add a tablespoon or two.
