Method
 

How to Make Raspberry Colada Twist
  1. Gather your ingredients. Start by measuring out 1.5 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries, 2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks, and 1 cup of creamy coconut milk.
  2. Blend the base. Add the raspberries, frozen pineapple, coconut milk, 0.5 cup of pineapple juice, 1-2 tablespoon of honey (or simple syrup), and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to your blender.
  3. Add ice. Toss in 1-2 cups of ice, depending on how cold and thick you’d like your drink. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust. Take a moment to taste your mixture. If you’d like it sweeter or thicker, now’s the time to add more honey or adjust the ice content before blending briefly again.
  5. Incorporate rum (if desired). If you want to make a cocktail version, pour in 1-2 oz of white rum, and blend again just until combined.
  6. Serve and enjoy! Pour your vibrant Raspberry Colada Twist into glasses. Garnish with a few raspberries or a slice of lime, and serve immediately for the freshest experience.
