Fireworks Piña Colada

Firework Explosion Red White and Blue Cocktail
This fireworks Piña Colada is a flavor explosion.  As Brad says, we went big and didn’t go home.  In fact, we burned down the house.

American excess at it’s most awesomely delicious, this drink will be so much fun at your 4th of July barbecue.  Layered strawberry puree and blue curaçao piña colada make a sweet, creamy refresher for a hot July day.

Pina Colada Flavor Explosions
Make the strawberry puree in advance (double, triple or quadruple the recipe) and blend up the piña coladas as your guests come begging. It of course gets the most impact when served in a hurricane glass but it’s just as delicious in a solo cup, dixie cup, or directly from the blender.

There’s no reason you shouldn’t use whipped dairy cream if you or your guests don’t have dietary concerns but we topped ours with whipped coconut cream to make it vegan.  The coconut flavor of the whipped cream was a great compliment to the drink.

Red, White and Blue Piña Colada Recipe

Red, White and Blue Piña Colada Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 oz frozen strawberries
  • 2 tbs white rum
  • 2 cup crushed ice
  • 1/2 c coconut cream
  • 1/2 c Blue Curaçao
  • 1/2 c crushed pineapple
  • 1/4 c white rum
  • whipped cream or coconut cream, optional

Instructions

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add frozen strawberries. Cook, stirring, until defrosted and somewhat liquid. Add 2 tbs white rum and blend with a hand-blender or transfer to a blender and puree. Divide between 2 glasses.

Clean out the blender if it was used for the strawberries and add crushed ice, coconut cream, blue curaçao, pineapple and remaining rum. Blend until combined. Slowly pour into the glasses.

Top with whipped cream or coconut cream, if desired.

    Can you prepare this a head of time and freeze the 2 mixes separately?

      Alas, it’s a bummer but I don’t think that would work. I worry that the two mixes would freeze solid and lose the granita-like texture. I definitely need to give some thought to how this could be made in advance. Let me know if you try something that works!

    […] Maggie Jones’s Pina Colada makes this list because you don’t need all of Independence Day to taste like strawberries and blueberries.  Given the choice, I’ll always go with a pineapple and coconut combination instead. For the record, two different Puerto Rican bartenders claim to be the originators of the pina colada. […]
