Make the Perfect Piña Colada (No Blender Required)

Gather the ingredients. The Spruce / Julia Hartbeck Pour the light rum, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. For a slightly less sweet colada, squeeze the juice of a lime wedge into the shaker. The Spruce / Julia Hartbeck Shake well for at least 30 seconds. When thoroughly shaken, the drink should be creamy with a luscious foam from the pineapple juice. The Spruce / Julia Hartbeck Strain into a chilled Mason jar or collins glass. Alternatively, it will fill 1 large or 2 small cocktail glasses. The Spruce / Julia Hartbeck Garnish with the pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry. The Spruce / Julia Hartbeck Serve and enjoy.
