I’m not a huge fan of frozen drinks, but her recipe actually sounds pretty good. The background elements perfectly match the cocktail and theme, and if I’m not mistaken, there’s a tasty-looking homemade maraschino cherry perched atop the garnish. Great job.

What an inspired idea to use the coconut sorbet from Trader Joe's. They also sell such great frozen pineapple, that it's like one stop shopping for a fabulous drink. I'll have to throw some together for my next party. I love pina coladas, but I still love the virgin ones of childhood happy hours at family Mexican restaurants.

I was inspired to try to make some back home and I ran into the same problem you did. Not a single Pina Colada mix on the shelf actually had pina or coconut in it. WTF?! I opted for a can of coconut milk, pinapple juice (unsweetened), rum, and a blender full of ice. While it wasnt as good as in Puerto Rico (it also wasnt $14) it was loads better than the premade crap.

Now during happy hour my son can have the virgin ones without me feeling guilty about pumping him full of chemicals. This has made my day.

Actually, I guess I meant that 'taken' folks should avoid cruising the personals. That'll teach me to be cute!

Granted, it said nothing about piña coladas, getting caught in the rain and certainly not yoga. But, still. :-) I would remind you that we met via a personal ad.
