Juice of 1 Lime

3/4 C Cream of Coconut

1/2 Can Frozen Piña Colada Mix

Additional Lime Juice and Twists

Directions

  1. In the jar of a blender, add crushed pineapple with juice, white rum, coconut rum, ice and cream of coconut or frozen piña colada mix; blend until very smooth.

  2. Moisten the rim of a double old-fashioned glass or multiple shot glasses with lime juice and dip into a mixture of sea salt and shredded coconut (optional per above photo).

  3. Pour frozen concoction into prepped glass or shot glasses and garnish with cherries, pineapple spears and a lime twist; or keep it simple and serve!

TIP: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top of the frosted slush so the first gulp is equally sweet and tart.
