Thanks for the tips on the Pina Colada. Yum! Would there be any reason why the blended recipe couldn’t be done in bulk? I have a 40th b’day party coming up and thought it would be a fun drink to offer guests as they arrive, but want it pre-made, alleviating jobs and maximising socialising opportunities!

April 26, 2019 at 12:15 pmThe Pina Colada seems to separate a bit after a while so I’d recommend making it fresh. You could prebatch the ingredients in jars… then you can simply add to the blender and blitz it (make 4 at a time say)… Would still make it quick whilst serving them up fresh…

January 27, 2020 at 11:19 pmIt should actually be Cream of Coconut (I’ll have to update the recipe). Cream of coconut is essentially coconut milk with sugar, see this video I uploaded a few hours ago: https://youtu.be/roASIPHeYOw

January 27, 2020 at 11:20 pmTo actually answer your question though.. coco Monin will probably be a good sub.. I haven’t used it before but assume it’s a coconut syrup? If so, go for it ?
