 Tropical Pina Colada

Healthy Fact of the Day

The Piña Colada was created in Puerto Rico in 1954 by bartender Ramón "Monchito" Marrero at the Caribe Hilton's Beachcomber Bar in San Juan. It became the official drink of Puerto Rico in 1978. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add a bit more pineapple juice and coconut cream to taste.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 oz white rum
  • 2 oz coconut cream
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry for garnish
  • Optional: 1 oz dark rum for floating

 

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine white rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and crushed ice.

  2. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.

  3. Pour the mixture into a hurricane glass or tall glass.

  4. If desired, gently pour the dark rum over the back of a spoon to float on top of the drink.

  5. Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.

  6. Serve immediately with a straw.

Take a sip of this luscious Piña Colada and let the creamy blend of pineapple and coconut transport you to a sun-soaked Caribbean beach! With its perfect balance of sweet tropical flavors and smooth rum, this iconic cocktail is more than just a drink – it’s a mini-vacation in a glass. Close your eyes, listen for the imaginary waves, and let your worries melt away with each delightful sip!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Aldi Is Having a Wonton Month — And the Best Item Drops Next Tuesday

The new Aldi Shrimp Wonton Soup is one of the more nutritionally complete frozen meals dropping this month — shrimp is a lean, high-protein seafood, bok choy adds calcium, vitamin C, and folate, and the noodle and broth base keeps the overall calorie count lower than most frozen entrees at the same price point. At $2.99, it’s also one of the best-value sources of seafood in the frozen aisle. For a more complete meal, serve it alongside a simple salad or steamed vegetables to add extra fiber and round out the nutrition without significantly increasing the prep time or cost.

Packing the filling with mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper adds fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants to a meal that tastes purely indulgent.
