It’s National Piña Colada Day! And what better way to celebrate and enjoy a hot summer day than with a homemade Pina Colada.
It had been quite some time since I had had a pina colada, and let me tell you… I’ve been missing out! This cocktail recipe is insanely delicious. A perfect balance of sweetness and just enough white rum to make me feel young again LOL.
As you know, I enjoy taking things a step further so instead of cutting my pineapple and throwing away what I didn’t need, I made a quick pineapple cup. I think it’ll make you feel like you’re in Aruba (my favorite island) lounging by the pool!
How to make a pineapple cup
Making a pineapple cup is super easy to do and it’s perfect for summer gatherings by the pool. Place the pineapple on its side and using a serrated knife, cut off the top of the pineapple. You can use a pineapple corer to remove the core, or scoop it out using a cookie scoop or spoon.
Follow the instructions below to make the most delicious Pina Colada ever, and pour it into your pineapple cup! ENJOY!
I’m so happy you’re making one of my recipes, and would love to see how it turns out! Share it on instagram using #yogaofcooking so I can see it, it always makes my day!
