For the 22nd Day of Boozy Advent, I blended a Spiced Rum Frozen Pina Colada.

We rarely make frozen drinks here but were talking about how in the 80’s and 90’s a restaurant in the Kansas City area made pina coladas everyone talked about. They were made with soft serve ice cream. Neither of us were of legal drinking age to try these mystical frozen drinks. While this one isn’t quite as creamy as I picture one with soft serve ice cream being, it is very creamy and makes just enough to share.

You’ll need frozen pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, cream of coconut (I use Coco Lopez) and spiced rum. Most pina colada recipes use part dark rum and part white rum. This one uses all spiced rum, in this case Sailor Jerry.

This is all whipped together in a VitaMix blender in no time. I wasn’t sold on the VitaMix when Johnna was doing a culinary education program that required her to have one. Now I don’t know how we lived without it. It changed the texture of smoothies into creamy treats and sometimes we even make hot soup in it. Turns out it’s also handy for making frozen cocktails.
