Pina Colada-tini

If you haven’t notice by now with all of my Martini Madness recipes, I kind of like my drinks shaken and strained into a martini glass, even if they’re suppose to be in a tall glass over ice.  And this goes for blended drinks as well.  Like this Pina Colada-tini.

This Pina Colada-tini turned out to be a really tasty drink!  A nice variation from my Mai Tai-tini that I usually make when I want a tropical, take me to the beach, kind of drink.  It’s very similar to the Coconut Mango-tini, but uses white rum instead of mango vodka.  A little Cream of Coconut was added along with pineapple juice just like a traditional pina colada.  I wanted something a little different for this drink and wondered what would happen if I drizzled a little Blue Curacao in it.  To my surprise, it sunk to the bottom and made a really pretty layered effect in the drink.  If you shake it together, the drink just turns a light blue.

For those of you who prefer your Pina Colada blended…go ahead and throw it in a blender with some ice!  It’s good that way too!
