5 min

4 servings

You’ll be tickled pink to find out that this tropical drink gets its blushing colour thanks to real fruit – watermelon! Perfectly ripe in the summer, or available year-round in the frozen section of the grocery store. Without the rum, it’s delicious as a zero-proof mocktail.

Ingredients

  • 1⁄4 cup Piña Colada Mix
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 3 cups frozen cubed watermelon
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • 2 oz light rum

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, whisk together mix and hot water. Stir until mix is dissolved.
  2. Add to a blender with watermelon, pineapple, and rum. Blend until smooth. If needed, add a little water, 1 tbsp at a time, until desired thickness is reached.
  3. Pour into chilled glasses. Garnish, if desired, and serve.
