Do you like Pina Coladas?

In my many travels to exotic lands I have often enjoyed the tropical blend known as the pina colada. In Costa Rica, I learned the secret at the swim-up bar at an exclusive resort. The bartender revealed his secret recipe only after he was assured I would never tell another soul . . . or it may have been that he wanted to get rid of me because he knew I didn't drink and wouldn't be spending many of my gringo dolares.



Yes folks, coconut cream. It's a lot worse for you than coconut milk, but it makes an incredible drink. All you need is a blender, ice, coconut cream and fresh pineapple.

The key to getting a good pineapple is to follow your nose. A ripe pineapple will smell very ripe at the base.

Blend your pineapple, coconut cream and ice and you've got yourself an amazing virgin pina colada. This drink will be sweet enough and has the perfect consistency.

Enjoy!
