Piña Colada
If you need a dessert, take a Piña Colada. This drink is sweet, creamy and fruity. It was the ‘in-cocktail’ ten years ago, and I remember my first cocktail-party where I made as much coladas as all other cocktails together.
A colada is a longdrink with rum, coconut cream and juice. Piña is spanish for pineapple so we have to take pinapple juice. I add some cream, to make it smoother.
Ingredients:
5 cl Havana Club, aged 3 years
3 cl Cream of Coconut
1 Splash of cream
10 – 12 cl pinapple juice
Preparation:
Mix all indredients well. There are three different ways to mix it: You can shake it, which is a very fine way to do, but doesn’t give you enought foam on the top. You can blend it, which makes him creamy but smashes the ice, so it gets watery. The best way to do, is to use an electric cocktail shaker. An electric cocktail shaker is a little twirling-stick which goes very fast and mixes all ingredients without smashing the ice. You get a creamy cocktail with some nice foam on the top, without becoming watery – very good. (I have no electic cocktailshaker, so I have to shake.) Serve in a grand cru glass or a goblet. Add a slice of pineapple and a cocktail cherry.
You can add some dark rum to make it taste a little bit rougher.

[...] Another tasty colada is the strawberry colada. You can use fresh fruit if you have, but you also can use frozen once. Let them defrost, mix the fruits in a blender with some lemon juice and a bit strawberry syrup and you have strawberry mash, you can use for many cocktails like frozen strawberry margarita or fraisini, too.
