Equipment

Ingredients

For the piña colada syrup:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple puree blend chopped pineapple pieces until smooth.
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut milk

For the snow cone:

  • 2 cup shaved ice or crushed ice
  • 5 oz Piña colada syrup
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 10 dash Angostura bitters
  • 5 pineapple wedge optional for garnish
  • 5 mint sprig optional for garnish

Instructions

For the piña Colada syrup:

  • Pour the pineapple puree into a saucepan with sugar. Heat on high until it just begins to boil. Then, remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp.
  • Stir in the coconut milk until fully combined.
  • Refrigerate the piña colada syrup until cold. A slightly thick snow cone syrup works best so it sticks to the ice and doesn’t melt your snow cones too quickly.

For the snow cone:

  • Add 1 1/2 cups of shaved ice to a glass.
  • Pour the rum over the ice.
  • Pour 3 ounces of piña colada syrup over the ice.
  • Pack an additional scoop of remaining shaved ice (about 1/2-3/4 cups) into a ball and place it on top.
  • Drizzle with 2 more ounces of piña colada syrup, and add a 10 of bitters.
  • Garnish and serve immediately.
