You don’t have to ask me twice to celebrate National Piña Colada Day! Actually, you don’t even have to ask. I’ll probably be the one behind the blender, whirring together an intoxicating combination of pineapple, coconut, and rum.
If you can’t get enough of the tropical tastes of the classic summer sipper, good news! We’ve found 5 ways you can continue to enjoy it all year long.
Lighter Piña Coladas: So you can keep sipping without jeopardizing your calorie count, we’ve given the classic beverage the Cooking Light makeover. Instead of 425 calories, which the typical piña colada can pack, this one has only 158 calories. That’s plenty of reason to have another round.
Piña Colada Cheesecake Bars: Creamy cheesecake meets seaside escape in these decadent bars inspired by the classic drink.
Pineapple Piña Colada Smoothie: When you want the nostalgic flavors but not the rum, whip up a super simple smoothie with banana, coconut milk, pineapple, and ice.
Piña Colada Sorbet: If you’re a fan of coconut, this sorbet is about to make your day. It uses three kinds of coconut products–water, milk, and cream–to make a truly unique dessert. The sorbet doesn’t have any rum in it, which is exactly why you should add a drizzle over top, just before serving.
Piña Colada on a Stick: How fun is this twist? Cubes of coconut gelée (with two beautifully distinct layers) nestle against rum-soaked pineapple for an unforgettable pick-up dessert or party sampler.
