If you like piña coladas...

We all know the oh-so catchy song but the question is, do you like piña coladas? And if you do I have the perfect recipe for the perfect summer drink which I stumbled upon completely on accident (A+ for creativity in the kitchen goes to Neona). I've made this drink now a whopping two times- yeah I know how it sounds but just trust me one this one!- and both times took about 5 minutes to make so it's quick simple and customisable (especially for you who prefer some alcohol!)

Ingredients (feeds about 4 people!)

-1 pineapple

-2 tbsp coconut cream

-1-2 tbsp caster sugar plus extra for the rim of the glass

-Some lemon juice to taste and for the rim of the glass (depending on how tart you like your drinks I'd go for maybe half a lemon to a whole lemon)

-1 cup of ice

-Depending on how fancy you're feeling a slice of lemon to decorate

Method

1) Place the pineapple, coconut cream, sugar, lemon juice and ice into a blender

2) Blend

3) Give it a taste to see whether it's how you like it and adjust accordingly if need be (this would be the time to add any alcohol!)

4) Wet the edge of a glass with some lemon juice and rim the glass with the leftover sugar (the easiest way is to put the sugar on a plate and coat it that way!)

5) Stating the obvious here but pour the drink into the glass and decorate with the lemon slice

6) Voila! Enjoy your drink on a lovely hot summer's day

Honestly this is so simple, the ingredients are cheap, easy to find and all you have to do is throw them into a blender! Delicious and virtually no effort at all!
