Tequila Pina Colada

Shake up your traditional drink with this blended Tequila Pina Colada made with silver tequila, coconut cream, fresh pineapple, plus pineapple and lime juice.

Why this recipe works:

I know a typical Pina Colada is made with rum but I personally love tequila. Especially silver tequila. I really wanted a blended tequila pina colada, so this was my creation! 

The combination of these tropical flavors with a hint of tart from the lime and the smooth finish of the tequila absolutely hits the spot.

If you love blended cocktails, this is the one you should try!

Ingredients needed:

• Fresh pineapple - diced or chopped
• Pineapple juice - fresh or canned
• Coconut cream - comes in a can
• Tequila - silver recommended
• Simple syrup - easy to make!
• Lime juice - I prefer fresh over bottled
• Ice 

How to make this recipe:

The process couldn't be easier. Simply add all of the ingredients to the blender and process until smooth.

Since you're using frozen ingredients, you'll want to serve immediately.

Recipe tips:

• You can substitute the fresh pineapple with frozen, but if you do you may want to omit the ice.
• Want to make this cocktail super fancy? Use a pineapple corer and slicer, then serve the pina colada right in the pineapple shell with a straw!
• Since this is a frozen blended cocktail, you can also freeze your glass prior to serving to keep it extra cold.
• Swap out the tequila with rum and you'll have a whole new tropical drink!
