What is Coke Cola?

The original recipe for pina colada originated at Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico in the 1950s, and was made of rum, coconut cream, heavy cream and pineapple juice, mixed with ice. This is the perfect sweet drink when you think of the beach!

How does Pina Coladas taste?

Pina colada drink tastes sweet, fruity and icy due to the blend of coconut and pineapple flavors in the drink.

What’s in Pina Colada?

This section describes how to choose the best ingredients for Skinny Pina Cola, the role of each ingredient in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• rum – Most pina colada drinks use white rum or golden rum. You can also use coconut rum, but be aware that it will add sugar.
• coconut cream – You can find plain canned coconut milk at many stores, or chill a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight and scoop out the thick and creamy portion. (Or, just use whole coconut milk – it won’t be as thick, but still delicious!) Avoid canned “coconut cream” in this recipe, which adds sugar and a different texture.
• Pineapple chunks – Use fresh cut pineapple or frozen pineapple for best taste. Canned pineapple is fine if you have to, but the flavor won’t be as bright.
• Pineapple Extract – I like to use it for a pineapple flavor, but you can also omit it and simply add more fresh pineapple. (I only use 1/4 cup of pineapple per drink to keep it lean, but you can double or double it and skip the extract if you prefer.)
• sweetener – Sure, you can use regular sugar, but it won’t be too skinny. 😉 I use Besti Luo Han Guo Powder Allulose Blend, which keeps this slimming coke sweet, but sugar-free! Unlike other sugar substitutes, it dissolves easily in this drink and has the same sugar-like taste with no aftertaste. You can also use maple syrup, or simply omit the less sweet drink.
• ice – Helps thicken and keep your drinks cold.
