This summer, we've hit you with plenty of delicious mocktail recipes. But now, it’s time we move into the grown-up stuff. It’s the last official month of summer (but let’s be real, the heat waves keep hitting until October), and what better way to enjoy our final moments of fun in the sun than with a classic piña colada, Harmless Harvest style.
Fun fact: three bartenders from Puerto Rico all claim that they invented the piña colada, spanning from 1952 to 1963. Regardless of where it began, the piña colada has been the official drink of Puerto Rico since 1978, and has officially been our favorite drink ever since. What’s not to love – it’s sweet, tangy, and refreshing. So kick back, put those shades on, and enjoy one of the best cocktail recipes ever made, thanks to…whoever actually made it first.
The Recipe Card
Pineapple and coconut go together like peanut butter and jelly, or like Harmless Harvest and organic fair trade Nam Hom coconuts – the point is, they’re the perfect combo. And why mess with perfection! Our coconut colada is three simple ingredients: coconut rum, pineapple juice, and our Organic Coconut Water. No frills, no secret sauces, and no garnishes (although those tiny umbrellas are really cute). It’s easy peasy and island breezy.
As far as cocktail recipes go, this is by far our easiest one to date. All you’ve gotta do is mix the ingredients together. If you want to get fancy with it, you can blend it with ice, but either way is still going to get you the perfect blend of pineapple and coconut. Nobody sums up the steps better than Hannah Montana – mix it all together and you know that it’s the best of both worlds.
What You'll Need
- 1 part coconut rum
- 1 part pink pineapple juice
- 2 parts Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water
How To Make It
- Pour ingredients into shaker.
- Shake hard and strain over ice.
- Optional: Use a blender for a slushie treat.
The Coconut To Our Colada: Our Organic Coconut Water
There are plenty of coconut waters on the market, but what separates our perfectly pink coconut water from the bunch is the quality and simplicity of our ingredients. Mother nature made the best organic coconut water there is, so we would never mess up her recipe with any additives, sugars, or any other gunk. We keep it simple – with organic young Nam Hom coconuts grown in Thailand. They’re refreshingly crisp, delicious, and always Fair Trade. And if you’re wondering why our coconut water is pink, wonder no more. Some bottles turn pink due to varying levels of antioxidants and interaction with elements such as light. Like we said, we would never mess with Mother Nature, especially not when she makes drinks this cute!
What is coconut water good for, you ask? We’ve got answers. Drinking coconut water has so many benefits beyond it just being a delicious treat. Not only is it hydrating, but it has naturally occurring electrolytes, and is a good source of phosphorus and potassium. It’s perfect for the gym, during a hike, or after a late night out (listen, it’s summer, we get it). Our coconut water gives your body, your taste buds, and the planet a boost, all in one sweet sip.
Give Your Water A Remix
We all know the soda dilemma: you’re craving the sweet, bubbly fizz of a classic soda, but don’t want all the sugars and artificial flavors. Lucky for you, we’ve solved it by adding a little extra flair to our original coconut water. Let us introduce you to our flavorful friend, our Organic Sparkling Coconut Water! It’s the same natural ingredients as our O.G. coconut water, with the perfect hint of carbonation.
But the party doesn’t stop there. Our Organic Sparkling Coconut Water also comes in watermelon flavor! It’s fruity and refreshing – it’s basically summer in a bottle. And, as always, only made with all-natural ingredients. We’re nothing if not consistent.
