Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the syrup, pour coconut cream, pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and bitters into a blender with ½ cup (4 ounces) water. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer syrup to a separate container. You will have far more than you need, enough for about 4 coladas.

  2. Step 2

    To make the colada, pour 4 ounces ( ½ cup) colada syrup and the rum into a blender with about 1½ cups ice. Purée until colada is thick but can still be poured, a minute or more. Pour into an appropriate vessel, such as a ceramic coconut shell, and sprinkle surface with a dash or two of bitters. Serve with a straw snipped to rise 2 to 3 inches above lip of vessel.

Fun to make over the forth of July. Make the syrup ahead of time to make for easy assembly day of. Always add a little rum floater on the top! Recommend!

This has been a go-to cocktail for us since this recipe was published. Such a great combination of flavors. To make the syrup, then the cocktail is a bit of work, so not an everyday drink, but it’s worth it. Enjoying one now!
