Different proportions of the core ingredients, as well as different types of rum, may all be used in the Piña Colada. Frozen Piña Colada are also very enjoyable. You can change the rum for all sorts of different spirits. For example, a Scotsman Colada uses Scotch and a Chi chi uses vodka! This drink is super tasty without the alcohol (Virgin Piña Colada).
