How long do frozen cocktails keep?
I love frozen cocktails because they can be made way ahead of time! Once you have blended the drink, pour it into a freezer container and it will keep well for up to a month!
Remove the drink form the freezer 10 minutes before serving and give it a stir before pouring into glasses.
Can you use frozen pineapple?
I prefer to use canned pineapple as I also add in the juices that it is packed in. If you use frozen, pour in a little pineapple juice when you blend it so that it’s not too thick.
Can you make this alcoholic
This cocktail is made with white rum. If you are not a drinker or want a mocktail version, it’s easy! Simply swap the rum for extra pineapple juice and you are good to go!

This sounds delicious! Could rum extract be added for a non-alcoholic version? Maybe a teaspoon and then a little extra pinapple juice to make up for the 7.5 ounces of white rum?
I think that’s a fantastic idea!
Is the 6 ounces pineapple Juice in addition to the juice from crushed pineapple can?
Add until you have the right consistency!
