Jump To Recipe

If you think that piña coladas are a bit too sweet, our key lime piña colada has a hint of citrus rum cream that perfectly balances the sweet and sour flavors. We recommend using Blue Chair Bay Key Lime Rum Cream, but if you have regular key lime rum, be sure to read the notes to see how to substitute!

This Key Lime Colada is a perfect summertime cocktail, but if you want to switch it up, try out one of our other dessert cocktails, like our Dirty Monkey Drink!

Key Lime Colada Recipe

Ingredients

The ingredients list might seem long, but remember that the garnish ingredients are optional! To make a key lime colada as pictured, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• pineapple juice
• orange juice
• cream of coconut
• coconut rum
• key lime rum cream
• ice
• maraschino cherry (for garnish)
• lime wheel (for garnish)
• shredded coconut (for garnish)

Equipment

To make this cocktail, you’ll need a blender to combine the liquid ingredients with the ice. Because the finished drink will be thick, you’ll want a high-quality blender to be able to get the right consistency.

We recommend serving this key lime colada cocktail in a hurricane glass (pictured). But if the presentation doesn’t matter to you, any glass will do. If you want to keep the drink frozen longer, consider getting an insulated glass or tumbler.

Recipe Steps

If you don’t care about making the drink look pretty, the easiest way to make this drink is to blend all non-garnish ingredients.

But if you impress your guests, try making this cocktail look fancier with the garnish ingredients. Rim your hurricane glass with cream of coconut, and then dip it in some shredded coconut flakes. After you pour in the blended ingredients, top it off with a maraschino cherry and place a lime wheel on the edge of the glass.
