Today I made myself a huge piña colada. I've been craving one since I left Puerto Rico. I've also been sick and stuck in the house so I felt like I deserved it. Even though it's not good for me. . . .
These are way easy to make. All you have to do is buy a little can of coco Lopez at the store (I think Wal-Mart will carry it wherever you are--maybe other chain stores, I'm not sure about that though), and you mix that in a blender with ice and pineapple juice. The ice is more important than you would think, Make sure you have enough of that. I basically used a whole tray for this glass--and it's not as big of a glass as it seems. Here is another picture of the pina colada:

I would definitely recommend making this. You can also put whip cream and a maraschino cherry on top, I just didn't have either of those. But that makes it even better. You will feel like you are on the beach in Puerto Rico (where I first learned to make this, and where this drink was invented)!
Enjoy!
