This Skinny Piña Colada recipe with real pineapple, coconut water and coconut rum is made with only four ingredients. Serve frozen or on the rocks for a lighter version of this tropical cocktail. Vegan.
I’ve been dreaming of coconut water, rum and pineapples since having a Skinny Piña Colada with Tina and Sarah on Monday. As soon as I got home from work today I told Isaac we needed to head to the liquor store…
And before I knew it, I had a delicious drink in hand.
Based on the menu at Legal I knew the Skinny Piña Colada contained coconut rum, coconut water and pineapple juice. I decided to play around with some of the ingredients and ended up with two recipes — one version to serve over ice and another that is frozen like a traditional piña colada.
Coconut water makes for a refreshing and sweet cocktail without a ton of calories. Isaac was a big fan of the first version on ice and I LOVED the creamy frozen one.

There were a plethora of coconut rums at the liquor store but I went with the Bacardi because it had the highest alcohol percentage! I like to get my money’s worth. 🙂
For now, I’m off to finish my drink and perhaps make another. Have a great Friday evening friends!
