My Piña Colada always ends up too icy—any tips? ❄️

[aurora]

So, I just finished making a Piña Colada. And I need some advice – my Piña Colada always turns out too icy! I love a smooth, creamy texture, but it seems I'm stuck with chunks of ice. Any secrets to achieving that perfect balance of slushiness without overdoing it? Share your frozen cocktail expertise to us!

I've had the same problem with my Piña Coladas being too icy. One thing that helped me is to use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice cubes. This way, you still get that cold, refreshing texture without it being overly icy. You can also adjust the amount of ice or blend it for a shorter time to control the consistency. Cheers to smoother Piña Coladas!

Though it's tempting to add lots of ice for that classic frozen drink feel, balancing it with a bit more liquid like coconut cream or pineapple juice can help too.
