Sometimes using too much pineapple juice or coconut cream can throw off the balance of flavors in a Piña Colada and make it bitter. Try adjusting the ratios to find the perfect sweet spot.

It could be the quality of the ingredients you've used.. For coconut cream, I like using the sweetened one so that I won't need to add more sweeteners. I also opt for lighter rum to avoid the bitter taste effect of it Just try and try until you find your perfect balance of it!

I believe that there might be several reasons why your Piña Colada turned out bitter. However, using overripe pineapple or pineapple juice that has somewhat soured is a typical cause. The bitterness may also be increased by adding an excessive amount of pineapple juice or insufficient sweetness, such as simple syrup or coconut cream. To get the ideal sweetness, the tastes must be carefully balanced.

Bitterness in a drink like that can really throw off the whole vibe, right? From what you've described, it sounds like overripe pineapple or slightly sour pineapple juice could definitely be the problem. Finding that sweet spot with the pineapple juice and balancing it out with just the right amount of sweetness is the solution. Maybe next time, we can tweak the recipe a bit and nail that perfect, tropical sweetness
