- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice

Notes
- You can replace fresh pineapple with canned pineapple juice.
- Try experimenting with white and dark rums to find your perfect pina colada recipe.
- Use crushed ice if you don't have a blender to make a frozen pina colada.
- Buy unsweetened cream of coconut so you'll have more control of the sweetness.
- Serve your colada drink in a carved-out pineapple for a more tropical vibe.
- Do not add too much ice as it is going to melt and make the drink watery.
- Add fresh lime juice and a fresh sprig of mint to balance the sweetness of your cocktail.
- Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
