How to Make Strawberry Piña Colada Punch

Ingredients:

• 4 cups diced pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1 1/2 cups cream of coconut (chilled)
• 1 1/2 cups coconut rum (chilled)
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2-3 cups crushed ice
• 1 1/2 cups coconut water or coconut milk (for mocktail version)
• Optional: a splash of vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Blend the base: In a high-powered blender, combine the pineapple, strawberries, orange juice concentrate, cream of coconut, coconut rum (or coconut water), pineapple juice, and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Chill before serving: Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher or punch bowl. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill and let the flavors come together.

3. Serve and garnish: Stir the punch before serving, then pour over fresh ice into glasses. Garnish with pineapple wedges, strawberry slices, or cocktail umbrellas.

Notes: For a thicker, frostier texture, use frozen fruit instead of fresh. Cream of coconut is key for that signature piña colada sweetness; don’t substitute with regular coconut milk unless you also sweeten it. To make this punch ahead of time, blend all ingredients except ice and refrigerate. Add crushed ice and re-blend or stir just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; stir well before re-serving. Want to stretch it further for a crowd? Just double or triple the recipe; the ratios scale beautifully.

How to Store Strawberry Piña Colada Punch

You can store leftover Strawberry Piña Colada Punch in the fridge for up to 2 days. Be sure to stir it well before serving again, as the ingredients may separate. If you want to ensure freshness, it’s best to make it shortly before serving.
