If You Like It

I have always been a fan of a good pina colada cocktail, but that is not surprising because who doesn’t like that delicious beverage? Seriously, the taste that comes from a pina colada drink recipe is so creamy, yet tropical, and most people can’t get enough of it.

My first time having a pina colada was an immensely fortunate experience. Unfortunately, that experience did not occur on a beach or somewhere warm, but beggars cannot be choosers, and either way I enjoyed my first pina colada.

I will admit that perfecting this pina colada drink recipe took multiple attempts before it was good enough to share with you guys and girls. Not that my attempts at a good pina colada cocktail recipe were an utter failure, but when it comes to my craft of creating a recipe, I can be a perfectionist sometimes, which can be both a blessing and a curse.

Regardless, I wanted to create something that you all will love, and I think this recipe will fit that category. I mean, it is a pina colada for goodness’s sake, what is there not to love?

Can You Get Drunk From Pina Colada?

Pina colada cocktails are great for brunch, so usually, they may not contain a substantial amount of alcohol. With that being said, there is still a possibility that you can get drunk from drinking multiple pina colada drinks. Not to mention, if you are a lightweight, all you will need is one drink to be out for the count.

Does Pina Colada Make You Fat?

As delicious as a nice pina colada is, I would not drink them if I am trying to lose weight. I hate to break it to you all, but beverages with alcohol in them are not the healthiest drink from the start.

Then, you are adding pineapple juice which is full of carbs and sugar, and the alcohol does not help. Also, if the alcohol has added flavor, then that is just more sugar and carbs in your beverage.

Top that all off with some cream of coconut, and now you have one of the best unhealthy drinks of all time, but let us be real, life is boring without throwing a few unhealthy items in the mix from time to time. I say all that to say, if you drink about ten of these a day, do not get mad at me if you gain a little weight.

Can I Use Coconut Milk Instead Of Coconut Cream?

Yes, you can substitute coconut cream for coconut milk, and you will still have a fabulous drink. In fact, I will go as far as saying that coconut milk will be your best bet if you do not want to use coconut cream.

What Is The Difference Between A Chi-Chi And A Pina Colada?

You may have heard of a pina colada. The first time you may have heard of this drink was coming across this recipe, but ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the Chi-Chi. The Chi-Chi is basically the pina colada’s third cousin, twice removed from the daddy side of the family. Life is rough for Chi-Chi, but it takes things one day at a time.

Although the Chi-Chi is overshadowed by its creamy counterpart, the only real difference between the drinks is the alcohol used to make them. A pina colada uses rum, while Chi-Chi uses vodka.

If I had to choose one liquor to put in my pina colada I would go with white rum. With that in mind, adding white rum, dark rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg to your pina colada will make a delicious drink that will have you forget that you are drinking alcohol, yet the beverage contains tons of it!

Of course, the combination of dark rum and white rum is lethal, but the cinnamon and nutmeg, combined with everything else, are what makes this what I like to call a “sneaky drink”. You will be guzzling this drink with minimum effort, then before you know it you are laying on a couch with a lampshade on top of your head. Do not take my word for it, try out the spiced dark rum pina colada cocktail for yourself.
