Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients required for the clarified piña colada and measure them accurately.

  2. 2

    Juice the Pineapple

    If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks and juice it using a juicer. You should have around 1 cup of fresh pineapple juice.

  3. 3

    Extract Coconut Water

    If using a fresh coconut, carefully crack it open and pour out the coconut water into a measuring cup until you have 0.5 cup.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender, add 1 cup of Rinomato Americano, 1 cup of Banks 5 Year Rum, 0.5 cup of Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum, 0.25 cup of Nardini Mandorla, 1 cup of fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 cup of fresh coconut water, and 0.5 cup of simple syrup.

  2. 5

    Blend the Mixture

    Blend the ingredients on high speed until well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Clarifying

  1. 6

    Strain the Mixture

    Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a clean bowl or pitcher. This will separate the solids from the liquid, creating a clear piña colada base.

  2. 7

    Chill the Mixture

    Refrigerate the strained mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.

Serving

  1. 8

    Prepare the Glass

    Fill a glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill it.

  2. 9

    Pour and Serve

    Once chilled, pour the clarified piña colada mixture over the ice in the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing drink!
