This piña colada is a much lighter version than the traditional one, using coconut water instead of coconut cream, which is usually heavy and very sugary. It is also a shaken version and not blended like the traditional one and although you can recreate your traditional piña colada, here we give you a much more elegant, lighter alternative that will allow you to enjoy the flavor details that come from this authentic mixture.

Ingredients:

2 ounces. alternative to Ritual brand rum

1 1/2 ounces coconut water

1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice or soda

1/2 oz. lime juice

Garnish: pineapple slice and leaf

Preparation:

- In a shaker with plenty of ice, pour the coconut water, pineapple juice, rum and lemon and shake for 1 minute. Serve in a glass and enjoy.

*Note if you are using pineapple soda instead of juice, follow the same procedure, just do not add the soda, once the liquids that were combined in the mixer have been poured, you can refill the glass or glass with the soda.
