Anybody have a good pina colada recipe? Warm weather's here and I want to make a batch from scratch tonight.

I cheat, I buy mix and add rum, but an important thing I picked up over the years is a float of dark rum (preferably Myers) on top.
A bastardized one (which I have done) is coconut water and rum with pineapple juice added.
You have challenged me though . . . I like to at least know how to make things from scratch (margaritas, etc.) so now I need to search a fresh pina colada recipe for Flemingo Key this summer.
I look forward to testing the responses you get.
Enjoy!

You can't buy canned mixes where I am, but I managed to put one together. Unfortunately, it wasn't as "scratch" as I would have liked: powdered coconut cream and pineapple juice. Still, the Jimmy Buffet made it seem like not such a big deal.
Next time I'm going to make the effort to seek out actual coconuts and pineapples. But I'm not sure how you make coconut cream out of a coconut.

Exactly.
Some people thicken with vanilla ice cream.

After reading the title, I now have that damned song stuck in my head!
I'll have to go watch Han Solo, P.I. To erase it.

OK Erock. Next weekend I'll give 'er a shot. Sounds like a diet buster.
BTW, next time I'm in PEI, I'm inviting myself over for a drink!
