🍍 Use frozen pineapple chunks instead of extra ice to thicken the drink and boost flavor without watering it down.
🥥 Always use sweetened cream of coconut (like Coco Lopez), never unsweetened coconut cream, or the drink will lack sweetness and body.
🧊 Chill your glass in the freezer beforehand to keep the Piña Colada cold and refreshing for longer.
