Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes was the #1 song on the U.S. billboard charts the day I was born - so I was destined to do this drink here on the channel 🤔 How do you make your piña colada? 🍍 🥥
Your videos are quickly becoming my favorite Friday afternoon activity, looking forward to watch your channel continue to grow as quickly as it deserves! Cheers!
@@AndersErickson I don’t know if you drink blue Hawaiians but would you do them the same way stylistically with just different proportions of curaçao and rum? I like the emulsifier technique and have only really used mine for soups and sauces before!
My ABSOLUTE favorite beach cocktail and one that is dear to my heart as a Puerto Rican. It always transports me to the beaches of San Juan. Great job on yours and you couldn’t have worn a better shirt for this video. Haha! Cheers Anders! 🍍🥥🇵🇷
I made one of these for a friend last night and it was consumed with much joy. I made my own cream of coconut from your recipe (halved), so easy. Thanks Anders.
Fresh Juices Are The 'KEY'!! ... Cool Chilled Themed Glasses & 'Natural Garnishes'...Help With The 'Visual Appeal' As Well!..... that my friend...Makes A Happy Willing / Tipping Customer! Cheers Canadian Bartender!
Anders, I just discovered (and subscribed to) you. I have binged so many of your videos in the past couple of days. I was a huge home bartending enthusiast and you have reinvigorated that passion. Love how you present each cocktail from the history to the build and the sip. You are so fun to watch! Cheers!
I've used this video as reference for pina coladas twice now and the second time was a total hit. Instead of a mesh strainer, I used a nut milk bag to filter the debris out of the pineapple juice. Clean up is definitely a little tougher but the process seemed faster and yielded way more juice with no pulp.
I'm Puerto Rican and I approve this video. 😂💯🇵🇷 I was hoping to see a DonQ bottle instead but it's fine haha. Just found this channel a couple of days ago and I'm loving it so far ♥ Great job, love the enthusiasm!!
tried your 1/1/3 rum, coconut, piña mix. . i like it on the coconutty side though. . the 1/1/2. can't argue flavour though. . i love drinking the fresh coconut shakes from a greet coconut with a lime squeezed in and a double shot of malibu
Delish! I've made ice cubes out of the pineapple+coconut and used those in the blend. My grandfather's middle name was Anders (Swedish immigrant parents), but when he was in the Army, they changed his middle name to Arland. I have no idea why.
I just made your version, minus the fresh pineapple juice(since someone ate it😂🥲), and it was amazing! For me, it tasted like it was missing something, so I added a float of Jamaican rum & it taste dangerous! Thank you so much for this! I love piña coladas!
Dang, watching this I want one of these RIGHT NOW.... Anders, you are the best! Maybe the history is relevant to calling it a "piña colada" but I'm pretty sure that as soon as people had rum, pineapple and coconut in the same place there was a drink like this. I mean, the first time someone tasted rum, they must have said, "get me a coconut and some pineapple."
I’m from Puerto Rico and very impressed with your version. I make a skinny version. Use coconut rum(this won’t substitute the rum only the cream of coconut), and use light pineapple juice.😛
Love the recipe Anders! I tried it using Plantation Pineapple rum rather than the Old McCoy that you suggested. Wow! That took the drink to another level. Perhaps next time I'll split it with the Pineapple and some OFTD to give the drink a little more kick!
It's a great version, very pineapple forward. There's a big variation out there though. I also like the 2 oz of rum, 2oz of pineapple (optionally inclusive of 0.5 oz of lime), and 1-1.5oz of cream of coconut depending on taste. I avoid the blender myself if it's just me - a good long shake with ice, then poured over loosely crushed ice.
You definitely changed my mind on how good a Piña Colada could be a long time ago…I love doing a variation where I add a charred pineapple purée and black walnut bitters…and instead of blending it I just hard shake it and serve it in a coupe glass. Cheers sir.
Thanks for these Anders. Your tiki drinks are single-handedly making my hot California summer more tolerable. Would love to see your version of a Painkiller. Cheers.
This looks amazing. I actually tried making another version last night, before I found yours. I used bought juice but added lime to bring out some freshness. It worked but I've got to try your version now. Well, not right now, it's only 10am in the morning! Thanks for your great videos Anders.
To have a nice presentation, I use a frozen pineapple as a cup for this cocktail. You just have to cut it with a pineapple slicer and put it in the freezer:) looks amazing🍍🍹
Got to your channel by "accident" while searching for a good Old Fashioned recipe for some friends, after watching the "Noble Beast" I became a big fan! About the Piña colada, considering how often our pineapples here in the southern parts of the world are already very sweet, I add some lime juice to bring up the citric.
Great recipe!! Added a bit of a curveball to this one as well. I use a Cherry Flavored Rum from Doundrins Distilling Door County Cherries in a Rum made in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin. Helps for those how want a little spark to the drink.
Hi Anders, seems like a lot of cocktail recipes utilize maraschino cherries as garnish but I can't find them where I live. Could you please do a video on homemade maraschino cherries? Thanks!
Cheers to Piña Colada Day! *And* World Rum Day today! Double holiday celebration ;) Thanks for mixing with us, Anders! 🥃✨ (We think using an aged, unsweetened rum in a piña is a savvy choice 😉. Like the pineapple-heavy tip, also -- we'll be mixing this up later!)
This recipe seems more fresh and summer party festive than ones I've tried in the past. Would love a follow up painkiller video. That has become my wife's favourite cocktail.
Oh man, I started watching your videos, to learn more about the Old Fashioned. Since then I have watched hours of your content and the list of stuff on my grocery list makes me look like an alkoholic when I will go to the shops on Saturday.
What a gorgeous and tasty cocktail. This is exciting because, believe it or not, I have never had a Pina Colada! Not sure why but I really want one after seeing how you make yours, Anders! I really like it that you made your own Cream of Coconut. I will try this as well! I can't wait!! Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks, Christine! I do hope you're able to try it. it's a different cocktail than so many of the classics, but it's a hard one not to like. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Especially with the homemade cream of coconut 😉
You guys do the best videos! Looks like I'm heading to the grocery store tomorrow for a pineaple. This'll be a nice change from the Margarita streak I've been on for a week.
Yeah, I call that song the Cheaters Song. BUT I do love pina coladas. Just had 3 recently at the Bellagio pool in Vegas on vacation. Thanks for the lesson. I'll try it!
Perfect drink for a hot weather weekend. I’ll try and use the Goslings Dark Rum leftover from all the Dark ‘N Stormy’s I made last week. Thanks again Anders for the great tips and have a great 4th!
Had these on a bar on the beach at Puerto Escondido, Mexico back in 2017. Served them in a hollowed out pinnaple. They were delicious. Got drunk on New Years and passed out on the doorstep of a small hotel that I wasn’t staying at. Was lucky I wasn’t robbed or kidnapped. Those were the days.
What are the odds we make the same drink but still very different from each other, great minds think alike 😆. Awesome recipe, you balled out on the garnishes and the glass. Pretty cool my friend. I will try this spec for sure
Hi, would it be possible to batch this cocktail and keep it in the fridge for a short time ? or maybe batch parts of it and combine as needed during the evening ? Thanks for the great video!
I work at a cheap-ass beach bar. I do a 3-count of both coconut and white rum, a splash of banana liquer, some pina mix and pineapple juice...but just a slishysplash of oj wakes it all up. Strongly recommend a dark rum floater.
I like the idea of using coconut milk in addition to cream of coconut, because cream of coconut has so much sugar. (Still not convinced about more than 90 ml pineapple juice, though. Might have to experiment.)
Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes was the #1 song on the U.S. billboard charts the day I was born - so I was destined to do this drink here on the channel 🤔
How do you make your piña colada? 🍍 🥥
Hahah
White rum, fresh squeezed pineapple juice, coconut water*, maybe a little simple. Shaken and strained.
(* not cream of coconut)
I made it once with passionfruit (maracujá)
Good, but not as good as with pineapple :)
@@leonardovieiradesouza8115 that still sounds pretty wonderful!
@@monotonehell love it 🥥
i am a 19 yo that has never even drank alcohol but here I am, subscribed and watching because Anders is a cool ass dude.
this man feels like the James Hoffmann of cocktails
Underrated comment
Imagine what would happen if they got together and made an espresso martini
Except not snobby or pretentious at all

Thank you so much! Cheers!
Thank you for your cheerfulness and inspiration
Hi. You’re my go-to for learning how to make great coctails. Keep up the excellent work. Short, fun and pedagocical approach 👍. Cheers from Sweden

Lmao!!!! No shirt budget this month.....

My neighbours are benefiting from me watching your channel. You have the best cocktails, Anders. Thanks again. Cheers.
Thank you so much! My best to you and your neighbors - enjoy the weekend!
I'm inspired to pull the immersion blender out from the back of the cabinet. This will be the perfect weekend for your pina colada recipe.
I've watch many videos on making a Pina colada but this for me tops them all, thank you.
Same recipe, i just put 10ml of vanilla syrup and 5ml of lime juice, it.makes a huge difference 🍍👌🏻
Yum. A great version. We enjoyed it very much. Now we need to have two pineapples in the house at all times.

Ok loving these videos and you are now my favourite TH-cam cocktail guy!
Last time I made one I threw in a few dashes of Angostura bitters and its was really good!
I love the cold opens! Really sets your channel apart.
Best Anders hairdo EVER. Thank you both for these lovely masterpieces.
😂 Thanks, Lea! Happy Friday!

With an intro like that, you already KNOW it's gonna be a good cocktail! Cheers man!
Thanks! Cheers to you!
The restaurant I used to work at also added vanilla ice cream it was life changing

Thanks, Kevin! Appreciate that - cheers to you!
I was very excited to see this video today, as I have been waiting for you to make this . Thank you so much
Thanks, Jeff! A good cocktail to kick off the weekend. Cheers!

Really great videos and that is a GOOD pina Colada
I finally subbed. You and your beautiful co-producer are CRIMINALLY underrated.
Thank you so much, Terry! Cheers to you!
Made this cheeky tiki this evening. What a cure for the grey cold weather. Great recipe thanks Anders! 😊
This looks amazing. I actually tried making another version last night, before I found yours. I used bought juice but added lime to bring out some freshness. It worked but I've got to try your version now. Well, not right now, it's only 10am in the morning! Thanks for your great videos Anders.
and this is how Anders just started my weekend in style. thank you
Thank you, Penina! Happy weekend!
I love the videos! With the clock at 5:00 because it’s 5:00 somewhere!!!!
What a beautiful drink! I’m shopping via your links and making this drink!
Thanks for the recipe! I will give this a shot over the weekend.
Man most definitely the best vacation drinks ever. My 2nd is the Miami Vice which well isnt much differant.
Pina Collada thats great yummylicious drinks cocktail..
To have a nice presentation, I use a frozen pineapple as a cup for this cocktail. You just have to cut it with a pineapple slicer and put it in the freezer:) looks amazing🍍🍹

Thanks, Mark! Painkillers are so wonderful - I’ll keep that one in mind. Enjoy the weekend and cheers!
Oooo. I’ve never had a proper pina colada and my vacay is in two weeks. I may have to make this the signature 2021 Beach Vacation drink.
I can't think of a better way to start a vacation! Cheers to you, Ashley!
I actually got those glasses in the mail TODAY! Summer can officially begin! Great video as always, Anders!
No way! Now you have to make a piña colada 😂 Good purchase - enjoy!
@@AndersErickson and lots of Painkillers!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing will try that.
Someone else who was waiting for this, can't wait to make this, and then another (couple) after.. 😎👍🍹
Amazing. I love these with a little fernet in it. adds a little zazz.
I like the way you think! The Angostura Colada is a favorite of mine as well - perhaps another video down the road 🤔 Cheers, Pete!
@@AndersErickson Ive done them with Angostura amaro as well!
@@UnclePete that would be wonderful! I was just talking to someone about Angostura amaro yesterday - gonna have to pick up a bottle!
@@AndersErickson It is good, unique, not overly bitter, but very flavorful.
I'm watching this in January and it still looks tasty. :-)
I am thoroughly enjoying your channel. It's been a great help in my quest to build a great bar.
Thank you! I'm so happy you're enjoying the channel. I wish you the best as you build up your bar - cheers!

Perfect summer video, gonna be using this one a lot!
Nice rendition as always I like yours better the others thanks man.

That looks bloody lovely.
Yeah, I call that song the Cheaters Song. BUT I do love pina coladas. Just had 3 recently at the Bellagio pool in Vegas on vacation. Thanks for the lesson. I'll try it!
such a classic 😃😃 keep them coming
The Real Mcoy has easily become my favorite light mixing rum. Not overly sweet and a reasonable price point for the quality of spirit.
Perfect drink for a hot weather weekend. I’ll try and use the Goslings Dark Rum leftover from all the Dark ‘N Stormy’s I made last week. Thanks again Anders for the great tips and have a great 4th!
Thanks, Matt! This will be so tasty with the Goslings. Cheers to you, and have a happy 4th!
Awesome love this so much !! The shirt is the bessssst!!!!!!
Yay!!!!! I've been waiting all week!
Me too! I woke up last night and said hey, Anders didn't post today. And then I realized it wasn't Friday yet and everything was all better.
Cheers! This one's for you!! 😊 🍹
