Best Rum For Pina Colada
When choosing a liquor I usually ask myself, what is it being used for? Meaning, am I drinking it mixed with other things or on its own? Since this cocktail is a mixed drink I like to choose a middle of the line liquor. No need to break the bank. Here are the best rums to use for pina colada or this pina colada spritzer:
- Bacardi Silver: One of the most versatile cost effective rum out there. You cant go wrong with this one.
- RumHaven Coconut: This has been my go coconut rum. It is made with coconut water so there is less sugar. It adds the perfect amount of coconut flavor and it is very affordable.
- El Dorado White Rum A favorite among bartenders for mixed drinks. This rum has hints of citrus, coconut and vanilla which makes it perfect for pina coladas.
- Malibu The classic coconut rum most people use to emphasis that coconut flavor. Also very affordable.
- BATI 2 yr Fijian White Rum: very subtle with hints of vanilla, perfect for a pina colada

Coconut rum drinks give you a taste of the tropics all year around. So if you’d like to feel like you’re on a tropical vacation even when you’re chilling at home, try mixing up one of these mixed drinks containing coconut rum.
Coconut Rum Punch Recipe
I used MALIBU Caribbean Rum for the Coconut Rum Punch because it has a fresh and vibrant coconut flavor without overpowering the rest of the drink. Ive tried this recipe with coconut milk and coconut water and found that the coconut milk was overpowering , while the coconut water was very understated.
You could try adding a good-quality cream of coconut or a coconut extract if you want to stick to plain rum , but I havent tried that substitution yet.
To avoid this drink watering down, you can make your ice cubes with juice, or even freeze some coconut rum punch into ice cubes.
This cocktail adds a splash of Caribbean summer to your day .
Can I make this coconut rum punch ahead of time? Yes! The flavor will still be the same, but as this cocktail sits the layers will mix together, so just be aware that you wont have that pretty ombre effect in your cocktails.
Can I add more rum? Absolutely! I kept the rum in this recipe very light to make it perfect for casual summer sipping or entertaining, but you can reduce the juice and add in more rum. If you are serving a higher strength alcohol drink to guests, make sure that they know how much alcohol was added especially with this drink because even when the rum is increased, its still very easy drinking and easy to overdo.
I included directions in the printable recipe card below on how to make this drink a 1 part rum to 2 parts juice ratio.

Pineapple And Coconut Rum Cocktail
Posted on
This pineapple and coconut rum cocktail was introduced to us about a year ago. Whenever we are craving something light and refreshing, this is our go-to drink. Only three ingredients are necessary to make this incredibly easy cocktail: pineapple juice, coconut rum, and tonic water. One of our best friends, Ashley, gave us the recipe for this drink. Therefore, we often just refer to it as The Ashley. Bright citrus flavors and the sweetness of the coconut rum give this beverage the feeling of being at the beach. However, you dont need to leave the comfort of your home or have to wash sand out of your hair afterward.

The best part about this cocktail is how versatile it can be. Learn how to make it frozen, creamy, change the flavor or turn it into a mimosa. Ive got your back on all those variations. Happy mixing!
- Make it Frozen: Instead of this on the rocks version add all ingredients into a blender along with 1/2 cup of ice.
- Extra Creamy: Still want that true pina colada flavor? Add 2 ounce of coconut cream.
- Vodka Version: Not a rum fan? Substitute the coconut rum for coconut vodka.
- Pina Colada Mimosa: This is a fun one. Instead of adding the sparkling water, do a 1:1 substitute for champagne

Pineapple Juice And Coconut Rum Options
Using the best ingredients you can find is always going to be your best option for a great cocktail. We have a hard time finding organic pineapple juice at our local grocery store, so we usually buy the small cans of Dole Pineapple Juice. However, for the coconut rum, we always use Rum Haven Coconut Rum.
Rum Haven Coconut Rum is made from real coconut water and pure cane sugar. By making sure you have the cleanest possible ingredients in your drink, youre probably going to feel a lot better in the morning. Sip beach drinks and stay fabulous!
What Youll Need To Make This Pina Colada Recipe:
I love it when a plan comes together and even more when its an easy plan with a huge upside. This pina colada spritzer only requires 4 ingredients, heres what youll need.
- Pineapple Juice Make sure to buy 100% juice or fresh squeezed not the juice from concentrate.
- Coconut Rum The coconut flavor of rum is key in this drink. Because we dont use coconut cream, make sure that the rum you buy is coconut flavored. My favorite brand as of late is RumHaven Coconut because its made from coconut water.
- Sparkling Water I like to use topo chico, but any sparkling water will do. Tonic Water or Club Soda will not work here, both will add a bitter taste to the drink you will not like.
- Lime Juice Juice a squeeze of fresh lime juice will do.
