To make Piña Colada popsicles, you will only need 4 key ingredients.
- Fresh pineapples – I like making into a smoothie so the texture is rich and creamy. I also chop some up into smaller bits and add to the popsicle so when I bite into it, there’re pineapple chunks I can enjoy.
- Rum – This alcohol has a lightly sweet aroma. The recipe here uses the Bacari white rum.
- Coconut milk – You can use the packaged ones which is a convenient choice.
- Limes – Grate some zest from the limes add a beautiful citrusy tangy flavour to the tropical cold treat.
What alcohol do I use in Piña Colada
There are many types of rum you can use. This recipe uses the Bacari white rum, I have seen recipes using the brownish type of rums. I’d say get the rum that’s affordable for you and easily available. These are some of the rum brands you can try out:
- BACARDÍ Gold Rum
- Mount Gay Rum
- Bumbu Original Rum
- Ron Zacapa 23 Year Centenario
- Havana Club Anejo Blanco
- Malibu Rum
Can I make it a non-alcoholic Piña Colada
Yes of course you can. Simply by just omitting the rum and just mix the coconut milk and pineapple smoothie, you can a virgin Piña Colada easily! Kids can now enjoy it together with the adults.
