    Only 5 ingredients for this Piña Colada that's just as creamy and tasty as the original

    Piña Coladas from Living Well Kitchen

    Piña Coladas recipes are often too complicated or require some sort of mix that I don't have.

    Piña Coladas from Living Well Kitchen

    To keep the ingredients list short, I only used one type of rum and chose Malibu Rum, rum with coconut liquor.

    You'll need frozen pineapple, coconut rum, coconut milk, ice, and pineapple juice to make these.

    If you buy the already frozen pineapple then these are ready in a flash. Just add everything to a blender and serve.

    You can also use fresh or canned chopped pineapple and freeze for a few hours.

    If you like your pina coladas creamy, add a little extra coconut milk.

    If you like less coconut flavor, use more pineapple juice and less coconut milk.

    Make sure you use coconut milk and not coconut water. While I love coconut water, it won't work in this recipe.

    I recommend regular, unsweetened coconut milk since "light" coconut milk is typically diluted with water.
