Notes

Tips for Virgin Pina Colada

1. Tinned Pineapple can also be used, but this Pina Colada tastes good with fresh pineapple.
2. Use fresh coconut milk which gives a yummy taste. If you want a simpler version go ahead with ready-made coconut milk.
3. Coconut cream or coconut milk powder can also be used. If so, add little coconut water or normal water to dilute.
4. For more creaminess, you can add a half-frozen banana or frozen pineapple can also be used.
