THE MODERN PIñA COLADA

Steps:

• Blend pineapple rings and coconut cream until fairly smooth. Add lime zest and juice. Blend until mixed.
• Pour mixture into 10 popsicle molds that each hold about 1/3 cup (80 mL). Freeze until firm.
• Pour Crabbie's ginger beer into a chilled rocks glass. Stir in rum. Add one prepared popsicle. Repeat immediately with remaining pops, Crabbie's and rum if you're serving a crowd, or save the pops for yourself for another day.
• Tip: For a fun tropical flair, garnish with Tiki-inspired elements like umbrellas or edible flowers.

• Note: This recipe is my adaptation of "The Authentic Piña Colada" printed on back of the Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut® can, which is the same as this but uses all (3 ounces) regular rum only ~ It's a great drink but I just love the inclusion of part coconut rum to make it even better!

VIRGIN PIñA COLADA

Steps:

• To make a mock rum syrup, put the dark brown muscovado sugar and 200ml water in a saucepan, stir well and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Add a few strips of skin from the pineapple, add the black peppercorns, cloves and a cinnamon stick, then bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse until cold. Strain into a jug and set aside in the fridge until needed. Will keep for up to three days.
• Pour the pineapple juice into a tall glass, and add the coconut milk and lime juice. Stir gently. Fill up the glass with a handful ice then slowly add 25ml of the syrup so it sinks to the bottom. Garnish with pineapple leaves and a tinned cherry.

THE ORIGINAL PIñA COLADA

Steps:

• Our little secret, do not mix blend with ice, instead freeze the mix stirring occasionaly until well frozen or use an old style ice cream maker to freeze the mix, then you will get the taste of a good piña colada.
• Pour rum to taste in individual glasses then add frozen mix to serve.
• Decorate with cherry and pineapple chunks to garnish (optional).
