 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!

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Roll Ups

Shrimp is one of the leanest, highest-protein seafood options available—about 20 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving with minimal fat. The cream cheese and Parmesan provide calcium and richness, and because the filling is so flavorful and satisfying, a modest portion goes a long way—making this an indulgent-tasting dish that actually satisfies in smaller servings.

Sonic Just Dropped Four Frozen Refreshers Today — Including a Brand-New Summer Flavor

Frozen refreshers made with real fruit and green tea are a lighter option compared to milkshakes or frozen sugary slushes — and the green tea base provides a gentle caffeine boost without the crash of energy drinks. At around 45mg of caffeine per 20-ounce serving, they’re also a moderate choice compared to a standard coffee or energy drink. To keep things balanced, opt for a smaller size and skip any added sweeteners or syrups — the real fruit purées provide plenty of natural flavor on their own.
