Pina Colada is undoubtedly the most popular drink in the world with a huge fan folloing. A lot of people are really excited about knowing its true origin and there has been a lot of debate on that lately. Still, a lot of people have different opinions and views about the birthplace of this world’s famous drink. But I think, instead of wasting too much time about who invented it and who drank it first. It would be better to drink it and enjoy it. After all, that’s the purpose of drinking liquor.
So, here is the best way of making Pina Colada:
Ingredients (four servings)

  • 1/4 cup 100% pineapple juice or pineapple chunks
  • Ice cubes
Blend all the ingredients in a mixer with ice for a minute. Put the mixture into a Collin glass.  Garnish it with a slice of pineapple and cherry.
2. Rum Cake: A lot of people love rum cake just because of the fact that the presence of rum makes it more delicious. A lot of people swear on their belief that rum cake is the tastiest cake in the entire world. Views of people can differ, but certainly Rum Cake is one of the best cakes you could ever have. So, let’s see the recipe for making rum cake.

  • 1 1-3/4 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cold milk or water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable (corn or canola) oil
  • 1/2 cup of dark rum
Preheat the over and grease the pan, large enough for the cake. Sprinkle nuts on bottom of pan. Mix all the ingredients of the cake in an electric blender for about 5 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Bake it for one hour and then cool it before eating it.

3. Glaze: To make glaze you have to take
  • 1/2 cup butter

Melt butter in a pan and mix it with water and sugar. Boil for 5 minutes. After this, remove it from the steam and put the rum in it and stir.

  • 1 - 2 tsp powdered sugar
Take a shaker and fill it with ice. Mix all the ingredients in it and shake it. Put the mixture in a collins glass filled with fresh ice. You can add an orange slice or lime slice over it to garnish it
5. Coquito: Coquito is a very famous drink which is normally demanded and consumed during Christmas season. This drink is normally confused with Ponche (Puerto Rican eggnog), as both the drinks are prepared for the holidays. But there is a lot of difference between both the drinks, although they look identical. The major difference between both of them is that Coquito is made up of coconut milk and cream, which is not the case with Ponche. On the other hand ponche includes condensed milk, cinnamon and eggs, which are not included in Coquito. Lets take a look at the way of making delicious coquito
Ingredients
  • (2) 15 oz cans of coconut milk
  • (1) 15 oz can of evaporated milk

Mix milk, coconut cream and ¼ cup of spice tea in a blender, then pour the rum in it. Fill it in a bottle and put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours minimum. You can serve it the way you like, but most people serve it in port glass.
