Pro tip: Use well-chilled pineapple juice and blend the drink with plenty of crushed ice - that gives the typically thick, creamy consistency of a real colada.
Frequently asked questions
What is cream of coconut?
Cream of coconut is a sweetened, creamy coconut preparation - not to be confused with unsweetened coconut milk. It gives the colada its typical sweetness and creaminess.
Can I make the Virgin Colada without cream?
Yes, the cream is optional. Pineapple juice and cream of coconut alone already make a full-bodied, creamy mocktail.
How does the Virgin Colada get especially creamy?
Plenty of crushed ice in the blender and well-chilled ingredients are the key. That creates the thick, frozen-style consistency.
