The official drink of Puerto Rico where it was invented by
someone sometime in the 1950s. This rich and delicious concoction is often
blended, but there&#39;s no reason to pull out the hardware. It&#39;s perfect when
simply shaken. Thanks to Abel, bartender at The Rum House in Manhattan for
making that clear.

For best results, please make sure you&#39;re listening to <q>The Piña Colada
Song</q>
while shaking. I do have to wonder how good the piña coladas at O&#39;Malley&#39;s
Bar are though.

The recipe below is adapted from the PDT mobile app. In the app the recipe
uses
coconut sorbet rather than Coco López, which sounds delicious.

<hr>

<ul>
<li>2 oz. light or amber rum</li>
<li>4 oz. Coco López coconut cream</li>
<li>1 oz. lime juice</li>
<li>1 oz. pineapple juice</li>
</ul>

Place all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Serve in a
collins glass over ice. Garnish with a cherry, a piece of pineapple, a lime
wheel, or all of the above.
