The Piña Colada is a classic tropical cocktail that captures the essence of a beach vacation with its rich blend of pineapple juice, rum, coconut milk, and a hint of brown sugar. Perfectly refreshing and delightfully creamy, this drink is sure to transport you to an island paradise with every sip.

Instructions:

1. Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will make the blending process smooth and quick.
2. Prepare the Blender: Place your blender on a stable surface and ensure it is clean and ready to use.
3. Add Pineapple Juice: Pour 1/3 cup (72 grams) of pineapple juice into the blender.
4. Add Rum: Measure and pour 1/2 cup (120 grams) of rum into the blender. You can choose light or dark rum according to your preference.
5. Add Coconut Milk: Add 1/2 cup (120 grams) of coconut milk to the blender. Make sure to shake the coconut milk can or container well before measuring to combine the liquid and cream.
6. Add Brown Sugar: Measure out 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of brown sugar and add it to the blender. This will add a rich, caramel-like sweetness to your drink.
