Piña Colada On The Rocks (With Pitcher Option!)

A classic Piña Colada recipe served on the rocks, that's shaken NOT blended. Summertime is not complete without having at least one piña colada am I right? I've turned this classic frozen cocktail into a super quick blender-free version that's simple, classic and SO delicious!

Individual
  1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake with approx. 1 cup of ice. Pour into a tall glass filled with crushed ice.
  2. Serve with a straw and garnish with pineapple, lime and a cherry.

Notes

*Freshly juiced pineapple is preferred but not a must. It is frothier and creamier and leads to a frothy and creamy pina colada.
*You can use more or less rum based on your preferred taste. Start with 1 cup and add more as needed. Malibu coconut rum is not as strong so I recommend adding more if using this.
