pina
colada
2 oz. (2 parts) light rum
2 oz. (2 parts) pineapple juice
1 oz. (1 part) cream of coconut*
*This
is a pre-made sweetened, condensed coconut goo and not at all the
same product as either coconut milk or coconut cream; Coco Lopez
is the common brand
Combine all the
ingredients in a shaker with plenty of ice. Shake it up and strain
into a glass filled with ice, preferably crushed or cracked.
Garnish with a cocktail umbrella, some skewered fruit, or a
combination of both.
To make a frozen
version, just combine all ingredients in a blender with a cup of
ice, and blend until the ice is finely chopped and you have a
frosty frothy drink. |

cream of coconut | If
you can't find cream of coconut, try this DIY version.
Combine a 14-oz can of coconut milk with ½ cup sugar.
Heat over medium-high in a pot, just until the milk starts
to steam. Do not boil, as this will cause the coconut milk
to separate -- not pretty. Reduce heat to medium-low, and
continue to let the mixture steam, stirring frequently and
adjusting heat as necessary, for 15 minutes. Transfer to a
bowl and let cool. As the homemade stuff isn't quite as
concentrated as the canned stuff, I find I need to use 1.5
times the quantity called for with ready-made cream of
coconut. |

 blue
hawaiian
1 oz. (1 part) light rum
1 oz. (1 part) blue curacao
2 oz. (2 parts) pineapple juice
1 oz. (1 part) cream of coconut
Combine all the ingredients in
a shaker with plenty of ice. Shake it up and strain into a glass filled
with ice, preferably crushed or cracked.
As with the pina colada, you
can make a frozen version by tossing all the ingredients in a blender
with a cup of ice, and giving it a good zizz.
