Got a question about our cocktails?

Our cocktails are fun! And we bet you have heaps of questions. Here are the most common questions hens organisers have asked us. Your question not answered here? Reach out to us!

What Does A Piña Colada Taste Like?

A Piña Colada tastes creamy, tropical, sweet, and refreshing with strong pineapple and coconut flavours.

What Alcohol Is In A Piña Colada?

A classic Piña Colada is made with white rum.

Can I Use Coconut Milk Instead?

You can, but the drink won’t be as thick or creamy.

Is A Piña Colada Sweet?

Yes, but the pineapple keeps it tasting fresh rather than overly sugary.

Can I Add Other Fruits To A Piña Colada?

Yes. Mango, passionfruit, banana, and strawberries all work really well.

How Cold Should A Piña Colada Be?

Very cold. A properly blended frozen Piña Colada should almost have a soft-serve texture.

Using too much ice. It waters everything down and kills the creamy texture.

Why Does Coconut Cream Make Such A Difference?

It gives the cocktail that rich silky texture people expect from a proper Piña Colada.
