Hello my friends. There are few more tropical drinks like the Pina Colada, and one of them is the Mango Colada. This mango cocktail is one of our favorite fruity drinks, and it’s a crowd-pleaser especially when you make a big batch! If you don’t like your fruit drinks alcoholic, we’re throwing in some tips to make a virgin mango pina colada.

Origins of the Piña Colada

The piña colada was invented in Puerto Rico, but let’s start from the beginning. The pina colada has been featured on drink menus since we can remember. It goes back to the 1950s in Puerto Rico, where a bartender at the Hilton, Ramón “Monchito” Marrero, combined coconut cream, pineapple juice and Caribbean rum for the first time. The pina colada was born.

Of course like many other drinks, there are other claims to the invention of the country’s national drink, but if it wasn’t Monchito who invented the drink, then we salute the anonymous drink mixer who did.

How to make a Piña Colada with Mango

To make pina colada with mango, you simply add mango pulp to the blender along with the cocktail’s regular ingredients. A classic pina colada is nice, but the pineapple juice used in bars can sometimes be too sweet or too tart. That’s where mango comes in. The meaty richness in the fruit rounds out the classic cocktail marvelously, especially if you add some fruit pulp along with the juice for a more vibrant tropical cocktail.

Mango Pina Colada Ingredients

The main ingredients in a mango pina colada are:

• frozen mango and pineapple pulp,
• coconut cream,
• fresh juices,
• and a couple splashes of rum

Blended together with crushed ice, they become a wonderful tropical drink to enjoy poolside.

With homemade cocktails, you can really put together a beautiful drink with the best ingredients available.

If we’re making Mango Pina Colada at home, then we’ll do it right. Bars need to keep their costs low, and they must work fast, meaning sometimes drinks aren’t as great as they can be. With homemade cocktails, you can really put together a beautiful drink with the best ingredients available.

We’re using frozen pineapple and mango pulp and blending them with both white and dark rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice and a some lime juice. As a garnish, there’s nothing more classic than a few maraschino cherries, a spiky pineapple leaf and a colorful paper umbrellas. That’s how you make a Mango Pina Colada Spoonabilities style (minus the umbrella)!
