This is the not so secret ingredient in a great Piña Colada. I'm only calling it secret because it's not easy to find... and it's confusing because you can buy things that sound the same but definitely are not. For example – coconut cream makes a terrible PC. Cream of coconut is like condensed milk, thick, syrupy and sweet. You only need a bit in the mix to make it perfect. I found this can at Lively Life, downstairs at the market.
So far the best result combined crushed ice, cream, frozen pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut cream and white rum. Blend until smooth and then top with a splash of dark rum.

Cream of Coconut
If you're not into yoga...
I've never been a huge fan of sweet, fancy blender drinks... frappuccino anyone? After dinner one night we skipped dessert and went to sit at the bar. I was looking at the drink menu, thinking about wine, when I saw it... Piña Colada... it's a drink, but it's also dessert... interesting.
That's how it happens. One minute you're not a fancy drink drinker, and the next you're eating a maraschino cherry, grinning like an idiot. Am I regressing? I don't care, a Piña Colada is better than any ice cream or molten chocolate lava poo cake I've ever had. Now I just need to learn how to make them at home!
