Raspberry Piña Colada Cocktail
Our deliciously yummy Raspberry Piña Colada cocktail will have you humming, “Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow flow straight through my lover’s heart!” Or maybe not!
Anyway, your romantic situation notwithstanding, this cocktail is 100% lit!
So whip it up for a fun girl’s night in or serve it up to your lover boy or girl (no judgment here) as you prepare a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner for two.
However, if you decide to celebrate Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong sipping on this yumlicious cocktail creation.
Trust me, have I ever steered you wrong? See!
I spent a lot of time in the dojo (my kitchen) creating the perfect Valentine’s Day cocktail.
Naturally, I wanted it to be pink and creamy. It had to be simple to make because nobody has time for complicated cocktails. I also wanted something berry-flavored and a bit of a surprise.
I finally settled on an updated version of a piña colada minus the pineapple.
I came up with this super-easy recipe, and it is everything I wanted: quick and easy to make, potent, creamy, and, above all, very berry pink! I did well, didn’t I?
This is one smooth cocktail with all the right moves. Its delicate, creamy raspberry potency will seduce you.
It has the coconut creaminess of a piña colada. But instead of the predominant pineapple flavor, I switched things up and went with fresh raspberries and gourmet raspberry syrup. And just because I like to titillate the taste buds, I added some RumChata.
Add all these ingredients with ice and shake to your heart’s content.
Strain this lovely concoction into your favorite cocktail glass, and there you go.
Don’t forget to garnish it with a heart-shaped marshmallow threaded with a long cocktail stick, and you’ve got yourself a winner! If you don’t like raspberry, use strawberry, blueberry, or whatever berry makes you happy.
Cheers!

How To Make A Premade Piña Colada Mix
I used a hack for this recipe and went with a premade piña colada mix, which makes for a short preparation time.
But if your inner mixologist cannot be restrained, go right ahead and make your piña colada from scratch.
Homemade Raspberry Piña Colada Mix
About 2 ½ cups of mix
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces of cream of coconut
- 3 ounces of raspberry juice (or frozen raspberries will work- 1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen raspberries and 1–2 tablespoons of water or pineapple juice to help with blending)
- 4 ounces of pineapple juice
- 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
- Put all the ingredients into a blender and whip until you get a smooth consistency.
Store: Transfer to a jar and refrigerate. Shake before using, as separation is natural.
That’s a lot of extra work, but I can’t stop you if you are a determined, do-it-yourself person.
Remember to drink responsibly, and never drink and drive!

Hi. Are you sure that 150ml is correct? 😅
T Worthey says
Hi Paula- the 1 is before the 50 ml, referring to using (1) 50 ml, not 150. Hope that helps.

for this section: “But, if your inner mixologist cannot be restrained, then go right ahead and make your piña colada from scratch using a combination of white rum (2 1/2 ounces), cream of coconut (3 ounces), raspberry juice (3 ounces), and a cup of ice (or use frozen raspberries).” how many frozen raspberries/oz of frozen raspberries would be the proper equivalent? and would you therefore not need raspberry juice?
T Worthey says
Hello! You can use 1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen raspberries and 1–2 tablespoons of water or pineapple juice to help with blending.
