If You Like Pina Coladas…

Then I’m pretty sure you’ll LOVE this!  I have been CRAVING all things coconut lately.  When I found this drink recipe in a magazine, I rushed to the store to pick up the ingredients.  In my opinion, this kinda cocktail and summer goes hand-in-hand.  Okay, so the original recipe involved NO liquor whatsoever, but I figured ‘what the heck’…let’s toss it in there and see how it tastes.  And OMG…SO glad I did :)  My favorite deck drink to date!

PINA COLADA SLUSH

3 {6 oz.} cans pineapple juice

2 cups water

1 {10 oz} can frozen pina colada drink mix {I used Bacardi}

1 tbsp. lime juice

1 tub powder lemonade drink mix {like Country Time…I used generic Wal Mart brand}

Sprite or 7Up

Coconut flavored Rum, to taste {I used Malibu}

 

In a large pitcher, combine pineapple juice, water, pina colada mix, lime juice, and lemonade.  Stir until well dissolved.  Transfer to freezer and let it set for 6 hours or overnight.  Remove from freezer 45 minutes prior to serving.  OR, you could just pop it in the fridge and drink it with no slushiness :) 

 

 

For each serving, combine half of the slush mix with half Sprite/7UP.  You can drink it just like that OR spice it up and top it off with some coconut flavored rum!!  Whatever your little summer lovin’ heart desires :)  If you like Pina Coladas, put this on your summer drink list for sure!  You’ll be happy you did!
