I don’t know about you guys, but I am kind of a pina colada die hard. Every snow cone place I’ve ever been to, I’ve either gotten pina colada flavor or tiger’s blood. {Which I recently learned, tiger’s blood is just strawberry pina colada. Weird.} I’m kind of picky when it comes to pina coladas though. They have to be more coconut-y than pineapple-y or it kind of ruins the whole experience. When I was trying this recipe, I was somewhat skeptical until I took my first taste and then I was immediately blown away. I was not expecting it to taste as delicious as it did! I actually ended up drinking a big glass of it for dinner. Don’t judge. I’m just making my point that it won’t let you down!
Recipe adapted from Coterie
Makes about 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. frozen strawberries in syrup {I found this in a tub near the frozen fruit, but if you can’t find it, blend together 4 cups frozen strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar}
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 {15 oz.} can Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut
- 15 oz. pineapple juice
- 3 cups ice
- 1/2 cup half and half
Directions:
- In a blender, combine strawberries and water until smooth.
- Place strawberries in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Rinse blender and combine Coco Lopez, pineapple juice, ice, and half and half and blend until no large ice chunks exist.
- Add strawberries and mix lightly.
I hope you enjoy this yummy drink as much as I did!

This sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
What kind of alcohol can I add to this
What kind of alcohol can I add to this
I would either use strawberry vodka if you want more strawberry flavor, or even better, Malibu rum is you want more tropical flavor! 🙂 Mmmm!
Btw, this sounds sooo good!!! I’m going to have to make this tonight or maybe tomorrow when I have friends over!
