EXTRA COLADA COCKTAIL RECIPE

Fruity and Sweet - Novice - Highball

Nothing transports you to the tropics like a Pina Colada. Forget having to reach for a blender to whip this one up though – for this easy Pina Colada recipe, all you’ll need is a shaker. Shaking the Pina Colada with coconut milk and ice breaks down the thicker texture for a smooth and creamy drink that feels lighter than the classic blended version. Using Chivas Extra 13 Rum Cask instead of rum adds a richer flavour to the Pina Colada mix that’s sweeter than our usual blends, as a portion of our blended Scotch whisky is finished in rum casks for an authentic connection to the drink. Once you’ve learned how to make this Pina Colada variation, we’re sure you’ll come back to it time and time again!

Shaking this whisky cocktail together with ice is crucial in breaking down the enzymes of the pineapple juice for a smoother drink.

The Pina Colada history involves stories of Puerto Rican pirates making the first Pina Colada in the early 19th century. However, the drink was truly popularised during the Tiki craze in the USA in the 1950s.
