EatingWellCool, smooth, and refreshing, blender cocktails are also some of the easiest to make. All you have to do is combine a few different ingredients in a blender and whizz until smooth. One of the most popular drinks is the pina colada, a tropical blend of white rum, pineapple, and cream of coconut. This unique cocktail is perfect for parties and with the approach of warm weather, it's the best way to cool down and loosen up.

Watch the video to see mixologist Kathy Casey create her Luxury Pina Colada, which includes the classic ingredients as well as a little lime juice for added tang. She completes the drink by floating aged rum on top of the cocktail to create a flashy finish.
