I saw the title "gonna need two of these" and assumed it was a reference to garth brookes' "2 pina coladas" song (bring me 2 pina coladas, i gotta have one for each hand, set sail with captain morgan, though we never leave dry land etc), so was slightly disappointed hahaha! Still, great episode as always
I was thinking the same thing. I had never realized that its equal parts rum, creme of coconut, and pineapple juice. And i was like.....that doesnt sound right
Being Puerto Rican in descent, this is a staple drink apart from Coquito (you should totally make Coquito, Puerto Rican eggnog). Always Coco Lopez and Bacardi Greg! Thanks for making this!
I'm Cuban and part-Puerto Rican but one of the few things all sides of my family will agree upon is that Coquito is the ONLY creamy holiday drink - the staple, the OG, the best recipe!
I know this is a little weird, but I'm not really a drinker. I dig this show because I like food stuff, from cooking to drink mixing, and because I love watching people talk about things they love. Anyway, I love seeing something that can be done sans alcohol, and I wouldn't mind seeing a few more. Yes, this is How to Drink, but still... Also, I'm super glad to see someone else who hears that stupid song and just goes 'wow, those two are shitheads, and probably deserve each other.'
I had a pina colada that changed my life, never had one like it. It was in a Cuban restaurant in denver and it was like half rum, dark and spiced. Creme the coconut, and pineapple. It was not blended. It was the most adult version I'd ever had.
This brought back the highlight memory from my Disney Cruise: Piña Coladas in a hammock underneath a palm tree on the beach in a quiet spot on Castaway Cay! Your right, they do taste like the best nap ever! And those cherries . . . . just one more!
Thank you for (sorta) drunkenly explaining both newspapers and the entirety of the song "Escape". I had the same idea on that one. They are horrible people.
Sounds wonderful. Sonic - the drive thru chain not the hedgehog - used to have a Caribbean slushy. I would buy a route 44, topped with soft serve vanilla, and then (once I got home) I would add Malibu Coconut or Captain Morgan Parrot Bay rum ... or possibly both when bottle began to run low.
Here in Mexico in my youth we used to make it with slightly different proportions: One can of cream of coconut One liter box of pineapple juice One bottle (750-1000 ml) of whatever rum you could steal from your parents Half a bag of ice from the convenience store (slam the bag against the floor a few times to crush the ice) Preparation: Dump everything into a (hopefully clean) ice cooler, serve in red plastic glasses
We make these every year for my mom's birthday (in February) because she lived and worked in the Caribbean (St. Thomas, St. John, Virgin Gorda, etc.) for years and that's where she met my dad. We live in Florida now, but have visited friends and family down there before, and I think it will always be where my mom is happiest. Another favorite of ours, which can be hard to find up in the states, is the bushwhacker. You can find it at a lot of parties, and it has similar ingredients to the pina colada.
After watching you make these drinks, I feel like I’ve never had a real drink in my life lol. Loved your old fashion episode. Love the history. I had no idea that drink went way back to the 1800s. Fascinating. Great show. Thanks to your crew for working so hard.
I've been on this planet for nearly 45 years. I have attempted to tune out that song more times than I can count. Apparently, I did a better job than I had thought because I was completely unaware of the narrative. I learn something useless and fascinating, every time I watch this show.
Great video my dude! Will try your recipe for sure. My recipe: (huge hit with everybody); 2 oz Coconut MILK, 2 oz pineapple juice, 2 oz white rum (Bacardi is great), .5 oz simple syrup, .5 oz lime juice. Tons of ice, usually just add until the texture is right, topping with 151 is welcome too because it helps as the ice melts.
Good Lord! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I just found that Bertie Higgins cassette yesterday! Lol! That song is the sole reason I ever tried a Pina Colada.
My uncle made really yummy ones over the summer last year and served them in a hollowed out half pineapple with pineapple half rounds and tahin as garnish. It was soooooo good
This Piña Colada is great, but it would be even better with Welch's 100% natural grape juice, a fine addition to any drink only available at select Welch's stores for a limited time.
My first time in croatia, i got addicted to this, it's so good, i don't drink alcohol at all but i do like cocktails like these where i can barely feel the alcohol, it's great, also same goes for mojito, love it.
I sometimes come back to watch just this episode when I'm feeling down. B/w the editing/subtitles and Greg's unadulterated enthusiasm of describing the song and just about everything else... It just cheers me up. Wish I had a piña colada to go with it!
Hey Greg! You are the reason I started making cocktails. I have been watching your videos since the early days! You have such high quality production by the way. I have been thinking it would be really cool if you could somehow make Thor’s drink in his flask, aged by Asgardian barrels for 1000 years. It’s from Avengers Ultron and makes Stan Lee buzzes beyond belief. I know this is more of a Babish type thing but I just love your channel so much. And Babish’s
Haven't made cocktails for like a year, because of the year it was. But thanks to tests and vaccines I can celebrate a late birthday party this year. So now I'm binge watching htd videos so my guests get something good to drink!
You should try my version, trade out the creme of coconut for full fat canned coconut (or coconut creme!) and most of the ice for frozen pineapple chunks, and a squeeze of lime. I find the canned coconut milk gives a much better coconut flavor, more richness and doesn't taste artificial, the extra frozen pineapple gives the sweetness you lost from the sugared up creme of coconut in addition to amping up the pineapple flavor and you get to skip that "canned" flavor from the canned pineapple juice and the bit of lime brightens the whole thing and provides some balance to the fat and sweet. This could be your "upscaled" version
I got here right after the Glass of Trouble episode, and the last thing I saw from that was a long pull of the really strong drink. Then straight into "If you like Pina Coladas". It was the perfect segway.
This intro has only reaffirmed my thought that I can't wait for Greg's mixtape to drop. We need a series of Greg covering a bunch of popular cocktail/booze themed songs.
I think they stay together because they learned new things about each other and it brought them closer. I always saw that song as being about rediscovered love.
@@nickelchlorine2753 Well sir/madam/undefined plankton, seeing as how Spanish has both "ananas" (there's an accent in there somewhere) and "pina", I'd say that, more than likely, the latter is a loanword of sorts from English! Your etymology lesson of the day!

Ah Greg thank you for finally doing one of my favorite drinks and tbh my first *virgin* drink. I loved the virgin version when I was 12 and I’ll always love the actual version now. Not a kids drink? I had em when I was a kid, excluding the rum which as an adult I found isn’t really present anyway. Also I love that this pops up in my feed when I’m browsing TH-cam hungover from a night of drinking pina colodas
Can you do a video making the Caribou Lou? It's another really, really good pineapple and coconut themed drink (And also has its own song). Thanks for the vids!
I was with ya for the first cherry. Even the second. When you ate the third without any hesitation, I became a bit concerned. Then you mentioned you already made one of these drinks and had a pre-filming drink..then it all made sense.
Literally almost just bought one. Got home from the restaurant saw this video and was immediately super happy and super sad. This is my favorite sweet drink and it's definitely a guilty pleasure but idc, it's awesome!
"Tastes like... Panama Jack Tanning Butter-" And then I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair, making my cat look very concerned. Loooooooove Pina Coladas and I'm glad I'm not the only one who eats all the cherries!

But did you sing with him?! That's the important part!
Yes I did
I had absolutely no doubt that the cold opening would be Greg singing that song.
Same.
Reya Rose I sang as soon as I saw the title.
Upon seeing notification:
Me: “IF YOU LIKE PINA COLAAADAS, AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN...that’s what Greg’s gonna do. *click*
Greg: “IF YOU LIKE PINA COLAAADAS, AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN...”
The man doesn’t disappoint.
Do a video on pina coladas, you know belting a few bars of that song is a must.
I saw the title "gonna need two of these" and assumed it was a reference to garth brookes' "2 pina coladas" song (bring me 2 pina coladas, i gotta have one for each hand, set sail with captain morgan, though we never leave dry land etc), so was slightly disappointed hahaha!
Still, great episode as always
1.5 oz of rum?!?! What are you making the kids version?
Think he means to say 1.5 bottles of kraken

Also, Bacardi gold is basically rum flavored vodka with caramel color
It's not a tiki drink...but add an umbrella.
I was thinking the same thing. I had never realized that its equal parts rum, creme of coconut, and pineapple juice. And i was like.....that doesnt sound right
According to Greg’s shirt, this is NOT a tiki episode
Being Puerto Rican in descent, this is a staple drink apart from Coquito (you should totally make Coquito, Puerto Rican eggnog). Always Coco Lopez and Bacardi Greg! Thanks for making this!
I'm Cuban and part-Puerto Rican but one of the few things all sides of my family will agree upon is that Coquito is the ONLY creamy holiday drink - the staple, the OG, the best recipe!

would have been disappointed if the intro was anything else.
I precisely clicked the video wondering if this song was included, not disappointed 🙌
That intro was extremely cringe, I had to instantly skip it
Saw this when the quarantine started! Still watching this every time I make them!
Hey How To Drink! I just wanted to let you know that in Puerto Rico we usually don't use ice, just keep the chunks of pineapple in the freezer!
That's a damn good tip. Thanks!
"Let's give it a taste, see how I did."

I'd say you did pretty well.

Do you know what the name of the restaurant was? I’ll be visiting Denver again soon and would love to experience this magical pina colada
Please share the name of the restaurant if you know it
You're rant on "pina colada" hit my soul. I have this entire arguement whenever I hear the song I'm glad I'm not alone
