Piña Colada
This is a more natural take on the traditional piña
colada, using coconut milk rather than cream of
coconut.
Makes about 6 cups
1 cup good quality white rum
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 cups RIPE, fresh pineapple, cut into 2-inch
pieces
1 cup coconut sorbet
1 cup frozen pineapple, cut into ½-inch
pieces
6 ice cubes
1. Put rum, coconut milk, fresh pineapple, sorbet
and frozen pineapple together into the blender jar.
2. Blend on High until well blended, about 45
seconds. With blender running, remove the pour
lid from the blender cover and add ice cubes, one
at a time.
3. Drink may be slightly thin, so it is also great over
ice.
