Enjoy the tropical flavors of a Pina Colada without the extra sugar so you are ready for swimsuit season.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pina<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A simple syrup made with powdered monkfruit<\/a> (or your favorite sugar free sweetener) provides the perfect touch of sweetness to balance out the other flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use fresh, frozen, or canned pineapple for this recipe. For best results, cut into chunks and freeze prior to blending. This will give you a better frozen consistency without needing additional ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally pina coladas are served in hurricane glasses<\/a>. Garnish with pineapple and a cute umbrella<\/a>. Maybe add a fun reusable straw<\/a> too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make unsweetened Coconut Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many Pina Colada recipes call for cream of coconut, which is a sweetened version of coconut cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This refined sugar-free version uses the rich coconut cream found on the top of a can of unsweetened coconut milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you want to make this drink, place a can of coconut milk upside down in the refrigerator overnight. The coconut cream will rise to the top with milk on the bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the can right side up, pour of the milk for use in another recipe (coffee creamer, smoothies, etc.). the solids on the bottom are delicious unsweetened coconut cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bon Appetit<\/a> explains how to make it from shredded coconut if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refined Sugar Free Pina Colada Mocktail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make this without the alcohol you have a few choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rum extract usually contains some alcohol, but far less than rum. Omit the rum and replace with an extra 1 ounce coconut cream and 3 ounces of pineapple juice and a teaspoon or two of the extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of alcohol free rums<\/a> on the market. I have not tried any so I cannot recommend a particular brand. Food Network<\/a> recommends Lyre's<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reluctant Gourmet has a recipe for a homemade rum flavor replacement using butter, raisins, molasses and a black tea bag.<\/p>\n\n\n
