Notes

The first time I made a piña colada, it was way to watery. Then I got the great idea from Serious Eats to freeze the ingredients! Frozen pineapple to the rescue! I’ve since also frozen heavy cream in 1/2 oz cubes. Use Coco López without question. Also, I switched from coconut to spiced rum as it’s more balanced and interesting. I didn’t have much of my homemade spiced rum left, so I bought Siesta Key—a worthy choice.
