I have always loved a good piña colada... and I just so happened to have a beautiful pineapple sitting on my counter and some cream of coconut in my fridge that day!
The combination of the fresh, sweet pineapple, creamy coconut, a touch of ice cream and lots of cold ice made this an amazingly refreshing and special treat.
I have to say... I think this may have been the best piña colada I have ever had!
(Of course I was really wishing mine had a little rum in it, but it was pretty amazing even without it, so I'm not complaining!)
