Fire up your grill to make this Piña Colada! Grilling your pineapple for cocktails adds a great lay of caramelized flavor that makes this drink irresistible.
Ingredients
2 oz rum
3 slice grilled pineapple
1 oz coconut cream
1/2 lime juice
1 tbsp sugar, or to taste
pinch of salt
1–2 cups ice
garnish: grillede pineapple slice, pineapple frond, edible flower
Instructions
Slice a whole pineapple into 1/2 inch slices. Cut into quarters.
Turn the grill to medium. You can also use a grill pan on the stove on medium high. Grill the pineapple slices. I like to brush on a miso honey butter on the fruit before grilling to really add to the caramelization.
Grill for 5 minutes on each side or until caramelized. Let the pineapple cool before using in the cocktail.
Make the Cocktail
Remove the skin from the pineapple slices. Add to a blender.
Add the remaining ingredients into a blender and blend with ice.
Pour into glasses.
